Ah well - no such luck. openpkg tend to overwite any PATH settings now that
I think about it. Problem is that rpmtool always searches "." - here is the
section from rpmtool:
files )
# if a Perl interpreter is available, we perform the operation
# with it because Perl is a magnitude (factor 10!) faster than
# what we can do here in Bourne-Shell.
perl=''
for dir in `echo $PATH | sed -e 's/:/ /g'` .; do
for tool in perl5 perl miniperl; do
if [ -f "$dir/$tool" ]; then
perl="$dir/$tool"
break
fi
done
if [ ".$perl" != . ]; then
break
fi
done
