I have a limited i use makerpm.pl to install all my perl stuff on redhat. you can get it from here: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JW/JWIED/ here's the procedure. as root, copy makerpm.pl and your gzipped source file to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES run makerpm, then build your rpm like this, substituting your file in for source_code: % ./makerpm.pl --specs --source source_code.tgz % cd ../SPECS/ % rpm -ba -v source_code.spec % cd ../RPMS/i386/ % rpm -Uvvh perl-source_code.i386.rpm note that if you are missing any perl modules required for the one you're installing, you'll be told so during the 1st step. also note that makerpm will prepend a 'perl-' to the source_code name when it creates the .i386.rpm. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
