Perl rpm for CentOS 6.x. Perl was installed to /opt/perls/perl-5.16.3 in this case. The script below uses fpm and the -C option so I can have a my Perl in /opt/perls and at the same time build the rpm and then `yum install` it to /usr/local/perls. The problem I am running into is once Perl is installed into /usr/local/perls/perl-15.16.3/bin/perl…

gistfile1.sh

$ cat ./fpm-perl-5.16.3
#!/bin/env bash

# Note, this will build a Perl RPM based on what's in /opt/perls/perl-$VERSION
# and package it for install to /usr/local/perls.

VERSION="5.16.3"
