--- Comment #6 from Ken Dreyer <ktdreyer@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
You're right about Data::Dumper being in core. I was mistakenly confusing it
with other Perl modules that have been split out. However I can't picture the
Perl core package maintainers splitting Data::Dumper out any time soon, so
you're fine there and it won't block my review.

If you can fix the License tag issue, then your package is basically set for
review. Just post a new version of your spec and I'll do the formal review.

Before I sponsor you, I'd like to see that you understand the packaging
guidelines enough to review other people's packages. Have you done any other
package reviews? You can just comment on any of the other package review bugs.

Regarding EPEL: EPEL is a cool sub-project, and I encourage you to look into
it. It is really no more work to maintain an EL branch than to maintain Fedora
branches.

That said, EPEL 5 and EPEL 6 are a bit different. RHEL 5 contains a very old
version of RPM, so you have to include some extra bits of code in your spec
files if you want them to build on RHEL 5. The cpanspec tool already includes
these bits of code:

  In %install, the "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" line.

  In %clean, the "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" line.

  In %files, the "%defattr(-,root,root,-)" line.

For EPEL 6 and all Fedora releases, you do not need to include these bits of
code in your spec file. So, if you don't care about EPEL 5, you can remove
them. That's why I bring it up.
