[Cpan2rpm-general] Patches available to compile cpan2rpm on RHEL 6

[Nico Kadel-G. <nk...@gm...>]

There are two notable buigs building, and using, cpan2rpm on RHEL 6.

* The 'perl Makefile.PL' process builds a Makefile that installs most
components in /usr/local. This is dealth with by RHEL with their
current MakeMaker and perl by using:

      perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor

  This workg great for me on RHEL 6, and I've published patches at

     http://github.som/nkadel/cpan2rpm-2.028-srpms/

* The 'Pod::Text" module is no longer in perl-5.10, and was only
required to provide the 'Pod::Parser' module, which is still
available. The patch for that is at:

      https://github.com/nkadel/cpan2rpm-2.028-srpm/blob/master/cpan2rpm-2.028-pod-text.patch

* There is even a cpan2rpm.spec file there to use right now, along
with the patches in the git repository, to build and a Makefile to
build RPM's for different releases usin g"mock". This has been very
useful to me, and is making my life a lot easier right now instlalling
new and old Perl modules as RPM's on verious RPM based distros.
