Actually unlike python, the perl directory layout doesn't prevent you from creating noarch packages, because it's /usr/lib/perl5 everywhere and the arch-dependent files go to /usr/lib/perl5/$arch-$os-blah-blah. Just there aren't many (read: zero) noarch perl packages in the distribution :-) Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
