Hi, I am making my first steps with Module::Build. Maybe I haven't read the large amount of docs thoroughly enough. But how do I say something like the following to Module::Build?

    dist => {
              PREOP => './mk_README.sh',
              COMPRESS => 'gzip -9f',
            },
...
sub MY::postamble {
  return <<'EOF';
rpm: dist
    $(PERL) -i -pe 's/^(Version:\s*).*/$${1}$(VERSION)/' perl-IO-Handl
+e-Record.spec
    rpmbuild -ba perl-IO-Handle-Record.spec
EOF
}
[download]

I want it to do 3 things:

• use gzip -9f instead of simple gzip
• create a README file during ./Build dist using the mk_README.sh script and
• add the equivalent of a make target to create an RPM

Is that possible?

Thanks,
Torsten
