Conclusion: Looks OK, I would rather to have double checking from somebody else as I'm doing review for perl package for first time.

should we put perl-sig mailing list into CC?

Thanks - that's a very comprehensive review. There are a couple of gotchas with perl packages that aren't directly covered by the review guidelines, though - just implied by the perl packaging guidelines.

Since most perl packages come with a comprehensive test suite, it is policy to run as much of the suite as possible. Reviewers will usually check this and point out any skipped/failed tests due to missing build dependencies. In this case, you can see from the mock build.log that all tests ran and passed:

t/001Basic.t ... ok
t/002Params.t .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=2, Tests=8,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr  0.01 sys +  0.28 cusr  0.03 csys =  0.34 CPU)
Result: PASS

And unfortunately, RPM's dependency generator sometimes misses (or adds unnecessary) requires or provides. Again, reviewers will usually mention that they have checked them.  In this case, they look reasonable to me (but the point of the review is that they look reasonable to someone else, too):

rpm -qp --provides perl-App-Daemon-0.06-1.fc11.noarch.rpm
perl(App::Daemon) = 0.06
perl-App-Daemon = 0.06-1.fc11

rpm -qp --requires perl-App-Daemon-0.06-1.fc11.noarch.rpm
perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.10.0)  
perl(Exporter)  
perl(Fcntl)  
perl(File::Basename)  
perl(Getopt::Std)  
perl(Log::Log4perl)  
perl(POSIX)
perl(Pod::Usage)  
perl(Proc::ProcessTable)  
perl(strict)  
perl(warnings)

requires seems reasonable for me, I have compared it with modules which are used in Daemon.pm and it fits.

Ok, i didn't find anything wrong (except that Log::Log4perl is required two times in source code, but this imho doesn't affect runtime)

APPROVED
