When setting up rpm spec file Requires or BuildRequires stanzas for perl modules which require something, you should use that same syntax, rather than a package name. Ex: Requires: perl(Net::LDAP) You can specify a version using that syntax as well: Requires: perl(Net::LDAP) >= 0.40 I think this also allows the required module to be installed via rpm or via a manual install, and the system will go figure it out, but I'm not certain of that. Fedora RPM guidelines also mention use of perl(Foo) for requires and provides: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl#Perl_Requires_and_Provides HTH, -- Josh I.
