>Description:
Mason (a Perl Framework to create websites with mod_perl for Apache) needs a 
work dir where it can store cache, obj and so on. 

This directory is not created when installing pkgsrc/www/p5-HTML-Mason, so 
Mason will not run from Apache.


Apache error log gives: (break added by me)
[client 127.0.0.1] Cannot create directory '/usr/pkg/mason/obj' 


(mkdir /usr/pkg/mason: Permission denied at 
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/HTML/Mason/Interp.pm line 284\n) for user 
'www', group 'www'. Perhaps you need to create or set permissions on your 
data_dir ('/usr/pkg/mason').

>How-To-Repeat:
Install Apache, pkgsrc/www/p5-HTML-Mason and try to access a Mason site 
delivered by Apache. The site will not be processed by mason and delivered by 
Apache, instead an error log entry will be created.
>Fix:
"mkdir /usr/pkg/mason/ && chown www.www  /usr/pkg/mason/" 
when installing Mason, 
or at least give an appropriate install-message. 

Mason can create required subdirectories beneath /usr/pkg/mason/ itself.
