The naming for the perl modules is for legacy reasons only I think, at least
in Mandrake and possible RedHat too. "spec file magic" is just an expression
when you have to use special tricks to make it build. In the case with OpenCA
you wouldn't have to use "magic" to build it, if the make install procedure
did not prevent you from installing certain files if others were found in the
install path.

Yes.
