Why would you want the perl script and the RPM in the same tar file? That's not normally the way things are done. Start by writing a Makefile.PL for your script (assuming you want to use MakeMaker) so that it can be installed with 'perl Makefile.PL; make install'. Then once this is working you can package it as an RPM using a tool like makerpm.pl, cpan2rpm or RPM::Specfile. Then you can distribute the RPM package together with any other RPM packages you want to accompany it. But mixing together Perl source, RPM packages and binaries is not usually a good idea. -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
