I'm not a pearl expert but I have seen MANY recommendations not to mix RPM and CPAN perl modules. I can think of two options. If you have some basic RPM packaging skills then this may be your best bet: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Perl/cpanspec It looks like it downloads the module source and tries to create a spec file for it so you can build an RPM. Or cpan2rpm, which will create a full RPM for you but I'm not sure how well the resultant RPM meets the Fedora packaging guidelines: http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/ Richard -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
