harangzsolt33 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I recently saw an RPM Perl package on Linux. It was kind of outdated. How does somebody create an RPM package that then becomes accessible to everybody all over the world? Is there a place you have to submit your Perl package or module to be considered to be added as an optional module for Linux?

      I would also recommend looking at the package App::CPANtoRPM which can automatically handle all of the steps for creating an RPM of a perl module, including creating a perl-specific SPEC file which handles prerequisites, etc.

    G'day harangzsolt33,

    And a Happy New Year to you too.

    You posted on "Perl Monks Discussion", which is for discussions about the PerlMonks site. I've moved it to "Seekers of Perl Wisdom", which is for questions about Perl.

    While I totally appreciate the Happy New Year! greeting, it is inappropriate as a title for this post. Please change it to something like "Create RPM Perl package"; notice I've changed the title of this node in anticipation of that.

    This is a very good question and I'd be very interested in answers. I'd happily FrontPage your post when it has a better title.

    Edit: Updated title to match newly updated OP title.

    — Ken
