Any ideas? I get this error with 0.83 and 0.84.

Update: Actually I think I have an XY problem here. I was originally trying to build perl-ldap using cpan2rpm and it was hanging. I looked at the script that hung and guessed (wrongly) that I needed to install Module::Install because the script started with use inc::Module::Install;. That's how I got started trying to install Module::ScanDeps.

The cause of the hang was that cpan2rpm doesn't play nice with Module::Install's auto_install_now() because Makefile.PL is run in the background. In my environment (VMware host-only network w/o Internet connection) auto_install_now() goes into an infinite loop because I don't have CPAN set up and it keeps asking for a MIRRORED.BY URL and getting EOF. I'm using cpanflute2 from RPM::Specfile now and it doesn't have that problem. Is that the preferred tool for converting Perl modules to RPMs?

I was getting a lot of dependency failures trying to install cpanflute2 packages until I added the "--noperlreqs" option. Now I still get dependency failures on perl(perl). Is there a way to turn that off also? I sent a patch to the RPM::Specfile maintainer to create dependencies on perl instead of perl(perl).

perl 5.8 taints $0??? OK, I can handle that with Cwd::abs_path() and a regex. Confusing if you're not expecting it, though.
