I'm happy to get them from the source packages.  But I was asking how to 
manage build prerequisites.  For example, perl-Data-Compare depends on 
perl-File-Find-Rule.  So I have to build and install the latter before I 
can build the former.  How do you handle this?  I was assuming that you 
had written a script that helps with this.

I don't think so, but I'll let you know.

Sounds good.
