In regard to: how to prevent rpmbuild from incorrectly discovering a Perl...:
What I have in one of my Perl programs something like: print <<EOF; use Net::SNMP::AgentX qw(:types :pdus :errors :options); EOF So my code 'emits' a line of text that contains a 'use' statement, but it does not actually ever execute that 'use' statement, therefore _my_ package is NOT dependent on that module.
Perl is incredibly challenging to parse correctly, which is why the dependency generator sometimes gets it wrong. The easiest thing to try would be to break your very small here-doc into pieces that the dependency detector won't notice. Something like print 'use '; print 'Net::SNMP::AgentX '; print 'qw(:types :pdus :errors :options);'; print "\n"; or print join(' ', 'use', 'Net::SNMP::AgentX', 'qw(:types :pdus :errors :options);'), "\n"; Tim -- Tim Mooney Tim.Mooney@xxxxxxxx Enterprise Computing & Infrastructure 701-231-1076 (Voice) Room 242-J6, IACC Building 701-231-8541 (Fax) North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND 58105-5164 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
