Description Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-14 21:27:45 UTC
I needed Spreadsheet::WriteExcel for a program I was working on, so I decided to
write an ebuild for it. This is only my 2nd or 3rd ebuild, so go easy on me ;)

Reproducible: Always

2 comments: You can enable the tests without needing the src_compile block by simply adding a SRC_TEST="do" - and unfortunately, we can only add perl module ebuilds for modules that either supply executable functionality (like libwww-perl for instance, which besides being a dependancy for just about everything web related also provides standalone /*/bin/ files) or that satisfy a dependancy elsewhere in portage. Sorry :/

Please reopen this bug if this is actually intended as dependancy for another package. Thanks for your understanding,

Mike
