[tools] dar-perl.py

[Bowie Bailey]

Second try...  I got no replies whatsoever the first time.
Does anyone read this list?


Anyway...

I grabbed the file from here:
http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/tools/dar/dar-perl.py
and tried it out to see what it would do.

It dumped what looked like a spec file and then gave an error.

$ ./dar-perl.py Compress::Zlib

[normal spec information snipped]

$ 

Any idea what happened here?

What exactly is this program supposed to do?  Can someone give me an
example of how to use it to install a Perl module and its dependencies?
