The goal wasn't actually HTML::Tree, it was some other package (I forget which at this point, but I'll probably trip over it later today) that wasn't in Fedora. I tried cpanspec on it, but it had dependencies. So, in the haze of perl-module-install fever, I just kept on doing cpanspec on the dependencies, and on their dependencies, and so on and so forth. Sometimes I'm alert enough to try yum, but I'm also administering some Macs with fink, and rewriting Some::Random::Module to perl-Some-Random-Module or some-random-module-pm588 or some-random-module-pm586 is sometimes more than I can handle after the hundredth time. And then there's CPAN, which takes care of all dependencies, if I abandon rpm package management. I saw there's a CPANPLUS::Dist::RPM module that would supposedly generate RPMs, but I couldn't get it to work last time I tried it. I tell ya, this death-of-a-thousand-paper-cuts makes me want to quit and take up a job running a laundromat. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl Fedora-perl-devel-list mailing list Fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-perl-devel-list
