I have a weird scenario I'm tasked with: I've been packaging perl modules as RPMs. I have, to date, been successful with cpan2rpm to accomplish this:
http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/ Now, my environment has changed. The host I'm now packaging on runs perl 5.10, but the target Linux host has 5.8.8 installed. My packaging generates files that live in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10, but that directory is unknown to the target perl distribution. That target distribution is stock Red Hat EL5. It was not complied with the ability to use sitecustomize.pl, so I can't tweak @INC in that manner. Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this? I see two courses of action: - alter cpan2rpm's use of MakeMaker to somehow generate the correct directories for the Red Hat host. (All of my efforts have failed so far.) - find some mechanism analogous to sitecustomize.pl for the Red Hat host to force it to utilize the new module. Does anyone have any advice on the above? Or perhaps there's another course of action I'm not considering? -- Brian Reichert <[email protected]> 55 Crystal Ave. #286 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1725 USA BSD admin/developer at large _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
