While working on some AUR packages, I took a look at the PKGBUILD prototypes that come with pacman. The one difference that I had a question about has to do with this snippet:
_author=AUTHOR_NAME _perlmod=MODNAME pkgname=perl-$_perlmod pkgver=VERSION Since the MODNAME package being downloaded is, major caveat --usually, BackPAN-Index-0.40.tar.gz that would make the pkgname perl-BackPAN-Index-$pkgver[whatever]. A quick survey of the Arch package database still shows packages still named like perl-backpan-index-$pkgver[whatever]. I've yet to use the pkgname style, but was wondering if this is the future of perl package naming? Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
