Hi Dan, thanks for the pointer, this seems to be a bigger can of worms than I've thought!

Indeed, so renaming the directories in the source tree does not help, as perl immediately complains at the beginning of the build. So I tried the less nice approach of fixing things up afterwards, hoping, as the list mail above indicated, that this would not mess up namespace things, but I am certainly a bit over my head into this… With the following changes @@ -68,6 +68,7 @@ << InstallScript: << +#! /bin/sh -ev make install DESTDIR=%d mkdir -p %i/etc/profile.d @@ -77,6 +78,9 @@ echo "append_path MANPATH %p/lib/perl5/5.16.2/man" >> %i/etc/profile.d/%N-core.sh echo "export MANPATH" >> %i/etc/profile.d/%N-core.sh chmod 755 %i/etc/profile.d/%N-core.* + if [ ! -f %i/lib/perl5-core/%v/Version/Internals.pod ]; then + mv %i/lib/perl5-core/%v/version/Internals.pod %i/lib/perl5-core/%v/Version && rmdir %i/lib/perl5-core/%v/version + fi << SplitOff: << perl5162-core and perl5162 build and install in maintainer mode (though the latter has a name conflict with json-pp-pm - is that package unversioned on purpose?).

I don't know if this is somehow due to Internals.pod now possibly not being found - it seems to contain some versioning information, but I really don't know anything about perl internals at this level… Derek ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
