... I don't use debian so can't tell if debian does it differently, but I
actually face that error often when I create a new perl module in the perl
lib directory. (since my root's default umask is 027, httpd can't read
it unless I change the permission.)

I understand httpd is started by root but actual service is provided by
forked processes owned by apache (or httpd) user. 

I guess the permission will not be a problem if the installation was done
by apt-get. Maybe you can check if the permissions are the same as the
other perl modules.


Good luck.
