What's the goal? Make the perl script widely available for people (you don't know) to discover and install on their systems easily? Or is this a script something only a few techy people may be interested in? If the latter, then maybe just put the script on a pastebin, github, launchpad or other host and point people to it with simple instructions for downloading and running it. If the former then you will need to do a little work to learn how to package it. The documentation is uh.. comprehensive, but there's some simpler guides like this one:- http://www.electricmonk.nl/log/2011/09/06/creating-simple-debian-packages/ Cheers, Al. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
