1. As perl developer I don't expect, that ExtUtils::Install on FreeBSD will have 
different behavior than on other OSes.

2. Files expected to be edited by end users should be installed as 644/755 and 
files don't expected to be changed by user is better to install as 444/555. And 
most files installed by perl modules is not expected to be edited after install. 
So I prefer default values from ExtUtils::Install

3. More patches we have in perl ports - less easy will be update this ports to 
newer versions.
