[Fedora-packaging] Help please? How do I express a dependency on a Perl module not installed in a standard place within an RPM spec file?

Hi,

 

Situation I have is this:

 

(a)    I have a bunch of perl scripts that use a perl module (say Foo)
that is not installed on the "package build machine"

(b)   On the target machine, the FOO module was "hand installed" in
antiquity in /opt/foo

 

In the perl scripts, I have:

 

Use lib qw{/opt/foo/lib};

Use Foo::Bar;

 

SO - I can build the package fine but when I try to install it, I get
the messages: 

 

error: Failed dependencies:

        perl(Foo::Bar) is needed by some-package-1.1.1-1.noarch

 

Any ideas, please, how I can "teach" the spec file that the required
perl module lives in a certain place on the target machine?

 

Thanks!

 

Richard.
