Re: Perl CPAN<->dpkg connectivity?

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>]

Hi,
	I now have a package called cpan-package that works like
 kernel-package; it provides a command called make-ppkg that, given a
 control file, downloads a packages using CPAN, adds the requisit
 ./debian directory (complete with a rules file and all), and runs
 dpkg-buildpackage, to endup with a debian package.

	I have a few corners that need to be rounded off, and I need
 to test it better, but I hope to get in it in before the freeze.

	I does everything that has been proposed here, so please take
 this as an intent to package CPAN like functionality.

	manoj
