Help building an rpm

[Nate Bradley]

I hope this is the right list.
I am trying to build an rpm for mod_perl-1.29 (I'm using apache 1.3)

rpmbuild is complaining that the perl files cannot be found and that is
true because the directory cannot be cd'd to directly.

It is looking for the files in /var/tmp/mod_perl-root/usr/lib/perl?/...

but when I cd to '/var/tmp/mod_perl-root/usr/lib/perl? the directory
doesn't exist.
if I cd to '/var/tmp/mod_perl-root/usr/lib' there is a 'debug' directory
instead of 'perl?'.

only when I cd to '/var/tmp/mod_perl-root'
then cd to 'usr/lib' does the perl (and everything else) directory
appear.

What is this behavior??  I'm including the .spec file modified from
mod_perl-1.26-5.

%define defperlver 5.8.1
%define perlver %(rpm -q perl --queryformat '%%{version}' 2> /dev/null
|| echo %{defperlver})
%define perlmajor %(echo %{perlver} | cut -f1 -d.)
%define contentdir /var/www

%description
Mod_perl incorporates a Perl interpreter into the Apache web server,
so that the Apache web server can directly execute Perl code.
Mod_perl links the Perl runtime library into the Apache web server and
provides an object-oriented Perl interface for Apache's C language
API.  The end result is a quicker CGI script turnaround process, since
no external Perl interpreter has to be started.

Install mod_perl if you're installing the Apache web server and you'd
like for it to directly incorporate a Perl interpreter.
