Thanks Bryan, I forgot to mention that that used to throw an error saying something like: /path/to/file not found. For some reason it now worked, however I have 2 different problems: 1) I can't list in %files, those with blank spaces in the names, even scaping them fails to do the trick. I had to remove them from the file list for rpmbuild to work. 2) I haven't tried to install the package yet, but after generating the RPM, it lists a very long list of "Provides", such as perl(Module::Name1), perl(Module::Name2), perl(Module::NameN), that doesn't worry me, the problem is that almost everything that is listed in Provides is also listed "Requires". Any input on this?
