While working on some AUR packages, I took a look at the PKGBUILD prototypes that come with pacman. The one difference that I had a question about has to do with this snippet:
_author=AUTHOR_NAME
_perlmod=MODNAME
pkgname=perl-$_perlmod
pkgver=VERSION
Since the MODNAME package being downloaded is, major caveat --usually, BackPAN-Index-0.40.tar.gz that would make the pkgname perl-BackPAN-Index-$pkgver[whatever]. A quick survey of the Arch package database still shows packages still named like perl-backpan-index-$pkgver[whatever]. I've yet to use the pkgname style, but was wondering if this is the future of perl package naming?

I'm simply asking it the PKGBUILD-perl.proto with the pkgname=perl-$_perlmod is correct.
Most likely not.
Nothing is broken, I have not used it this way, I'm just inquiring about the PKGBUILD-perl.proto that is installed with pacman.
pacman only installs ChangeLog.proto, PKGBUILD.proto, PKGBUILD-split.proto and proto.install. All the others are installed by abs (which is not maintained so probably out of date) or other packages.
I suggest you use perl-cpanplus-dist-arch and cpanp for local installation or cpan2dist/cpan2aur when creating packages for sharing.

Florian Thank you very much. I've been using cpan2dist to do the installs but just trying to figure things out for myself. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
