RPMQ - a simple query-API for RPM-files

DESCRIPTION:

RPMQ.pm is a Perl 5 module for querying RPM files.

You will need to have Perl 5.004 or greater for RPMQ.pm to work properly. Since 
it is a Perl module you use RPMQ.pm from one of your own Perl scripts.

FILES:

    Changes     - for history lovers
    Makefile.PL - the "starting point" for traditional reasons
    MANIFEST    - file list
    README      - this file for CPAN
    RPMQ.pm     - the reason you're reading this

    t           - test directory
    t/test1.t   - basic tests

INSTALL and TEST:

On linux and Unix, this distribution uses Makefile.PL and the "standard"
install sequence for CPAN modules:
    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

On Win32, Makefile.PL creates equivalent scripts for the "make-deprived"
and follows a similar sequence.
    perl Makefile.PL
    perl test.pl
    perl install.pl

Both sequences create install files and directories. The test uses a
small sample input file and creates outputs in various formats.

Once you have installed, you can check if Perl can find it. Change to
some other directory and execute from the command line:

            perl -e "use RPMQ"

No response that means everything is OK! If you get an error like
* Can't locate method "use" via package RPMQ *, then Perl is not
able to find RPMQ.pm--double check that the file copied it into the
right place during the install.

NOTES:

Please let us know if you run into any difficulties using RPMQ.pm--
e'd be happy to try to help. Also, please contact us if you notice any
bugs, or if you would like to suggest an improvement/enhancement. Email
addresses are listed at the bottom of this page.

The module is provided in standard CPAN distribution format. Additional
documentation is created during the installation (html and man formats).
