Hi,
I'm using cpan2rpm to generate the rpm for XML::LibXML::PrettyPrint. The following is the command used:# cpan2rpm --no-depchk --no-sign XML::LibXML::PrettyPrint
Above fails with the following error:====================================================
-- cpan2rpm - Ver: 2.028 --
Upgrade check

Using cached URL: http://search.cpan.org//CPAN/authors/id/T/TO/TOBYINK/XML-LibXML-PrettyPrint-0006.tar.gz

-- Done --
=====================================================
This error is related to the XML-LibXML-PrettyPrint-0.006.tar.gz itself. cpan2rpm expects the first entry in the tar ball to be the base directory (by using tar -ztvf XML-LibXML-PrettyPrint-0.006.tar.gz). XML-LibXML-PrettyPrint-0.006.tar.gz includes just the files. The directory structure are not included in the XML-LibXML-PrettyPrint-0.006.tar.gz, which leads to this issue.

As a workaround, extracting and repacking XML-LibXML-PrettyPrint-0.006.tar.gz solves the issue.
Please upload the tar ball with the directory structure as well.
