I’ve looked over the CPAN modules that allow running RPM builds from Perl.
RPM::Make::DWIW seems to be the best choice there, although too new (2010) to
have any reviews. I’m just curious if anyone on this list has any experience
with it (or one of the alternatives) that they’d care to
A while back I worked with a big perl app running under mod_perl and apache2,
but actually running in version 1 mode. The problem is that the details of how
this was accomplished are a bit sketchy in my mind. Apache2::compat was
definitely part of it and is well documented on the mod perl
I've just finished 2 weeks of packaging a ton of CPAN modules into
rpms. Before that I had never touched the format. So I have some
recent very direct experience with packaging rpms, from the point of
view of a novice.
My first reaction is to ask why you would want this? To use it you
have to

I had missed that.
I suspect that for what I was doing it would have saved a lot of work
- except where it wouldn't.

I've never used the RPM one, but the dpkg one is decent. I *have* used
cpan2dist, which might actually use that module under-the-covers. I
recall it worked pretty well. on debian we have dh-make-perl which is
*quite* nice.

That gets at one piece of advice.
My bitter opinion is that the only reason to use an rpm based system
is that someone else made that decision for you. All of this is much,
much better on Debian.

Thanks Ben and Steve. Yes, we're being forced to repackage some code as
rpm's by corporate decree. It's a fairly small one-time effort for a
simple system, so that module appealed to me as a quick way of getting the
job done without having to delve too deeply into the mysteries of spec
Thanks William.Actually migrating the legacy code to Apache2 and
mod_perl2 is what my client wants to avoid due to the cost of conversion.
(The cost of conversion is way beyond any recoding and testing -- it's
dictated by policy for a very active app with a large customer base that
