Your best solution is to make a real perl package, full with the Makefile.PL., and then sign the tar.gz. Perl, when it installs perl scripts, changing the beginning line automatically; however, one checks the sigs before even untarring/ungzipping, so this is not a problem. If you are new to Perl package management, I can personally recommend pgpenvelope, at http://pgpenvelope.sourceforge.net/, as an example of how to approach it. Feel free to mail me off-list for further questions about this. - -- Frank Tobin http://www.uiuc.edu/~ftobin/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: pgpenvelope 2.9.0 - http://pgpenvelope.sourceforge.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAjnFSOsACgkQVv/RCiYMT6NdSACgmikmhpeSvi5fiumyqENxDXmu +CwAn1zEn06yHrYsKf65lNVZsFpfB+V/ =YXn9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Archive is at http://lists.gnupg.org - Unsubscribe by sending mail with a subject of "unsubscribe" to gnupg-users-request@gnupg.org
