in reply to Regex to break up rpm filenames

I would definitely try a bit harder to get RPM to install. Have you tried finding an RPM package of it?

There's also RPM::Perlonly as well as a host of other RPM related distributions on CPAN.

    Thanks for replying.

    Unfortunately to use these modules I would need to download the RPMs to interrogate their headers. The goal of my project was to avoid downloading them unless I needed them.

    I realise that because of this I am relying on the accuracy of filenames which may or may not be accurate
