What I am trying to do is build a RPM for Perl. The issue I am having is when I try to install it I get some complaints about dependencies. The dependencies are for Perl modules that don't come with the Perl distribution itself. It doesn't make sense that the Perl RPM would require CPAN's that are not part of the Perl distribution. I do want to use the normal way for modules, but I have to get past the Perl distribution itself first. Thanks for you patience!

I don't really understand what you're asking, I'm afraid. Why don't you want to use the normal RPM-way of generating/checking Perl module dependencies? -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
