The 'template' file it needs isn't around (it doesn't seem to be in that directory). If you could roll this into something like g-cpan.pl, it would go a long way. The general policy for CPAN and PEAR packages is that we don't want to pollute the tree with adding them until they are needed by another package. That said, I've broken that rule a few times myself when I wanted a package in Gentoo so I could easily deploy some custom software to many Gentoo machines (which is being donated to open-source soon ;-). =20 --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=3Dpeople.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 --Kj7319i9nmIyA2yE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks iD8DBQFBMNr6snuUTjSIToURAhReAKCuh8cVSEVUyOM+y3e4nzdyJ3/66ACgpCd/ kVOOqK+8A1DypNUofNErQp0= =WE0a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Kj7319i9nmIyA2yE--
