Those methods need a little tweaking for perl packages - you need the CPAN dist name instead of the first %{name} in "%{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/%{name}-prov" Something like: # Filter provides/requires cat << \EOF > %{name}-prov #!/bin/sh %{__perl_provides} $* |\ sed -e '/perl(Bad::Provide)/d' EOF %global __perl_provides %{_builddir}/SOAP-Lite-%{version}/%{name}-prov chmod +x %{__perl_provides} cat << \EOF > %{name}-req #!/bin/sh %{__perl_requires} $* |\ sed -e '/perl(Dont::Need::This)/d' EOF %global __perl_requires %{_builddir}/SOAP-Lite-%{version}/%{name}-req chmod +x %{__perl_requires} -- Iain. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
