I've been working off and on for the last few weeks on a script for generating a spec file for Perl modules from CPAN. The current version is here:

http://www.silug.org/~steve/software/scripts/perl/cpanspec

I've found this very handy, but I ran into a few problems when trying to move stuff across to x86-64. I think this fixes the problems I've seen (the problem being that on x86-64, _libdir is /usr/lib64, whereas noarch stuff actually gets installed into /usr/lib/perl5/...):

I've integrated that change. Hopefully in a week or two I'll have a box I can test this sort of thing with (again, but permanently this time :).

Has anyone else tried my script out? I'd love to get some feedback...
