Does your package contain any architecture-dependent code, i.e. XS modules (look for .so, .bs)? If so, you probably want to put the modules in /usr/lib/perl5 and ignore lintian. If not, make sure your control file says "Architecture: all", not "Architecture: any". Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
