[Pkgutil-users] Tiny tweak for bldcat

[Dagobert M. <da...@op...>]

Hi Peter,

I just noticed these lines in bldcat:

> eval { require Digest::MD5; };
> die "\nDigest::MD5 not available! Install CSWperl and use that\nfor  
> bldcat. Do that by having /opt/csw/bin before\n/usr/bin in your path. 
> \n" if ($@);
>
> eval { require File::Temp; };
> die "\nFile::Temp not available! Install CSWperl and use that\nfor  
> bldcat. Do that by having /opt/csw/bin before\n/usr/bin in your path. 
> \n" if ($@);


The PATH-thing can actually be automated by always preferring /opt/csw/ 
bin:

> --- bldcat.orig 2010-10-02 18:45:36.304272754 +0200

Most of the snippet is from perlrun(1) where the details
are explained with the exception of the PATH extension.
I use this also to patch PCA to prefer OpenCSW Perl.


Best regards
