.Documentation files from `perl-devel` no longer have a write permission for a group
Previously, certain documentation files from the `perl-devel` package had a write permission set for a group. Consequently, users in the root group could write into these files, which represented a security risk. With this update, the write bit for a group has been removed for the affected files. As a result, no documentation file from `perl-devel` has a write permission set for a group.

I confirm the file has 0664 permissions while it should have 0644 permission. There is no 7.10 version of RHEL. I'm correcting the version value of this bug report the latest released 7.7. If your customer has a different RHEL version or need the fix in any previous RHEL versions, let me know. This bug is caused by a 0002 umask on the build server. A simple fix is needed to the specification file:
#copy the example script
-cp -a %{SOURCE5} .
+install -m 0644 %{SOURCE5} .

Description of problem: Files in documentation folder have 'loose' permissions: In the file /usr/share/doc/perl-devel-5.16.3/perl-example.stp , the permission is 0664. 0755 is expected or more restrictive Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-devel-5.16.3-294.el7_6.x86_64 Additional info: Customer has security checker that complains about loose permissions for tomcat documentation files. Customer is concerned that group-write permissions to the documentation files may affect the security of the system and requesting for removing write permissions on group.
