Thank you very much for your help. I am using rpmbuild version 4.11.3 and am primarily building on CentOS 7. When built, it installs just fine. Here is the output of "rpm -qp --provides VBSPerl-1.0-15.x86_64.rpm" command. This is the package where the Perl modules are located. rpm -qp --provides VBSPerl-1.0-15.x86_64.rpm VBSPerl = 1.0-15 VBSPerl(x86-64) = 1.0-15 This is what I have in my spec file up to the %prep section.

The fact that it's not probably means something else is going wrong. What version of rpmbuild are you using when building your custom RPMs, and on what platform? You can leave out anything that would be company sensitive or private, but what does the header for your spec file look like, up to and including the Provides line you show above?
