The latest versions of the official Perl distribution are including some files which are not part of the RH Perl distribution, mainly because the %files section of the SPECS file is using a fixed list. This should better be /usr/bin/* etc. Patch follows: *** perl.spec.orig Wed Apr 7 05:30:23 1999 --- perl.spec Sun May 23 11:09:24 1999 *************** *** 3,9 **** %define perlver 5.005 %define perlrel 03 Version: %{perlver}%{perlrel} !

This matter has been assigned to a developer for further action.
Fixed in a new version of perl, available from rawhide.
*** Bug 3297 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** i have a module off of CPAN that want to use pod2text, however the perl package that comes with RH 6.0 doesn't have it. my workaround was to grab the .src.rpm for perl, change the .spec file so that /usr/bin/pod2text was included in the file list, and then build and install. ------- Additional Comments From dkl 06/07/99 15:52 ------- I have verified that the perl-5.00503-2 as shipped with Red Hat 6.0 does not have the pod2text utility and also is not enabled in the perl src rpm. But it is included with the source and as such should be compiled also.Fixed in a new version of perl, available from rawhide.
