I am using the rpmbuild as a local user.  I used the scripts to create
the rpmbuild directories.

[marc at Strikelap SPECS]$ rpm --showrc | grep perl_
-14: __perl_provides    /usr/lib/rpm/perl.prov
-14: __perl_requires    /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req
-14: perl_archlib       %(eval "`%{__perl} -V:installarchlib`"; echo
$installarchlib)
-14: perl_privlib       %(eval "`%{__perl} -V:installprivlib`"; echo
$installprivlib)
-14: perl_sitearch      %(eval "`%{__perl} -V:installsitearch`"; echo
$installsitearch)
-14: perl_sitelib       %(eval "`%{__perl} -V:installsitelib`"; echo
$installsitelib)
-14: perl_vendorarch    %(eval "`%{__perl} -V:installvendorarch`"; echo
$installvendorarch)
-14: perl_vendorlib     %(eval "`%{__perl} -V:installvendorlib`"; echo
$installvendorlib)

Thanks for the info I found some references for the python on the wiki
since my email.

I'll have a play with it and see where I'm stuffing up.

Cheers again,

Marc
