Extending AutoRequires for mod_perl, etc.

[Richard Siddall <cobalt elirion net>]

Hello,

I'm packaging up a Perl application that uses mod_perl and HTML::Mason 
and was wondering if anyone could point me at some information on 
extending rpm's AutoRequires as I'd like to automatically pull Perl 
dependencies from at least the HTML::Mason handler file.  RPM's standard 
AutoRequires ignores that file as it has a .pl extension.

I've found some stuff on the Fedora Project's web site on overriding the 
PerlRequires mechanism to filter out unwanted results 
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Perl), and assume I can 
override the whole of AutoRequires similarly.  Before I start 
reverse-engineering how AutoRequires works, I thought I would check to 
see if anyone has done this before and documented how to do it.  (A 
google search came up empty.)

I'm not happy with hand-maintaining as large a set of dependencies as 
this application's HTML::Mason handler has.

Regards,
