Yes, "Requires: perl(MODULE)" seems to work fine. It also seems to work 
if I just drop all the requirements. The sneek in again somehow, and 
show up when rpm -Uvh rt-3.0.6.i386.rpm is run.

Installed are httpd-2.0.47-10, mod_perl-1.99_09-10, mysql-3.23.58-4 and 
all the perl rpm's within fedora. Is this mod_perl broken?

Sounds like you are suggesting this command to me (cf. the README)

$ ./rt-test-dependencies --with-modperl1 --with-mysql

# rpm -Uvh --test /home/torkil/tmp/RPMS/i386/rt-3.0.6-1.i386.rpm

Now most of these can be found on CPAN (look into 
/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz ). I will look into converting CPAN 
tar balls to rpm's using cpanflute2.

The execptions is

RT::Tickets_Overlay_SQL, which seems to be provided by rt itself, along 
with a bunch of other RT:: modules. Wonder how this should be handled.

And lastly: I try to install using rpm (and yum) only, and would really 
like not to use something like "perl -MCPAN -e ".
