If you're using an RPM-based system, rebuilding from SRPM and installing from the resulting binary RPM will keep the package in your RPM database, with all the resulting benefits. Rebuilding from SRPM is almost the same as building from a tarball. The SRPM contains the tarball, plus possibly additional files useful for your system (not the case for SA, but common when the packager is not the same as the tarball provider), and a "spec" file that guides the building of the tarball. You can quickly set up to build RPM's as a mortal by installing the cpan2rpm package and then running "cpan2rpm --mk-rpm-dirs=~/redhat". ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: eBay Great deals on office technology -- on eBay now!
