I'm just looking for the packaging itself. I'm not a perl programmer, so I assume you're looking for creating a actually *working* perl yourself ;) Ok, that's what looks not quite ok to me: - Your package pollutes the /usr/bin directory with two versions of *almost* every tool in the perl package, foo, foo5.8.8, bar, bar5.8.8, etc. The former 5.8.7 package only created a perl5.8.8 parallel to the perl exe, but all other binaries were only available without versioning, same as in the Linux distros I have my hands on, btw. Almost, because there are two variances: - ld2, perlld, ptar and ptardiff only exist in the non-versioned style. - psed and pstruct only exist in the versioned style. - ld2 is not available in the perl package for Linux. Is that binary actually for public consumption? - The directory /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/auto, present in 5.8.7, is missing. Everything else looks ok to me.
