Build Notes Need cc_r compiler installed on AIX build system. Download Net-IP-1.25.tar.gz from CPAN. Unwrap the tar file. (gunzip & tar -xvf ) Go to the subdirectory containing the Makefile and run "cpan2rpm ." This will eventually fail but it does produce a spec file. Modify the spec file and put it in /opt/freeware/src/packages/SPECS. Put the gz file in /opt/freeware/src/packages/SOURCES. Note: cpan2rpm produced a spec file that was different than all the other cpan spec files. I could not build the rpm with it. Instead I copied the standard spec file from the Net-DNS package and modified the names etc. This spec file worked. The modified file is in this directory. Run "rpm -bb Net-IP.spec", which creates: /opt/freeware/src/packages/RPMS/ppc/perl-Net-IP-1.25-1.aix5.3.ppc.rpm
