Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-libwww-perl-5.814-2.fc10 How reproducible: Always Actual results: The perl-libwww-perl shipped with Fedora 9 included the mentioned files. The Fedora 9 perl-libwww-perl update removes them. The rawhide perl-libwww-perl version no longer includes them. Expected results: Restore the missing files.

The new upstream Makefile.PL supports the --aliases option that allows us to install the mentioned files. Source: http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=libwww-perl-5.808&to=libwww-perl-5.814#Makefile.PL
Created attachment 319583 [details] Restores the missing files
FYI: The latest upstream version is 5.816. CPAN homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/libwww-perl/ Diff from 5.814 to 5.816: http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=libwww-perl-5.814&to=libwww-perl-5.816
This affects Fedora 9 as well and is a serious regression. It has broken applications which depend on those scripts to be there.

Marcela, Thanks for the update. Just a note about the changelog entry: "- fix #465855 - add --aliases into INSTALLDIRS" This entry is misleading. To be precise "--aliases" is a command line option of the script Makefile.PL while INSTALLDIRS is an ExtUtils::MakeMaker variable. They aren't related as the changelog entry suggests. /jpo PS - Version 5.8.17 is already available in CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=libwww-perl-5.816&to=libwww-perl-5.817
Thanks. Updated in rawhide.
