gpgdir PKGBUILD with perl install-script

HI,

I want to make a PKGBUILD for gpgdir.

In the sources there is only a perl install-script and I don't know how to handle this script in my PKGBUILD.
So I need some help.

This is the "basic" PKGBUILD.

pkgname=gpgdir
pkgver=1.5
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="a perl script that uses the CPAN GnuPG::Interface module to encrypt and decrypt directories"
arch=('i686')
url="http://www.cipherdyne.org/gpgdir"
license=('GPL')
depends=()
makedepends=()
source=(http://www.cipherdyne.org/gpgdir/download/gpgdir-1.5.tar.gz)
md5sums=('d9cac88d400efb56a3b9e9eda06ceab8')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src
}

p.s.
I don't have any perl skills....

Re: gpgdir PKGBUILD with perl install-script

ok,

The install-script has a config section for the pathes.

#======================= config =======================
my $install_dir = '/usr/bin';
my $libdir      = '/usr/lib/gpgdir';
my $manpage     = 'gpgdir.1';

### only used it $ENV{'HOME'} is not set for some reason
my $config_homedir = '';

### system binaries
my $gzipCmd = '/usr/bin/gzip';
my $perlCmd = '/usr/bin/perl';
my $makeCmd = '/usr/bin/make';
#===================== end config =====================

I changed the $install_dir and $libdir to to pkg/usr/bin and pkg/lib/gpgdir with this build function in the PKGBUILD:

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  perl install.pl
}

but this gives me a error

==> Starting build()...
[*] Could not create pkg/usr/lib/gpgdir: No such file or directory at install.pl line 396.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

this is the code around line 396 of the install-script

sub setup() {
    unless (-d $libdir) {
        mkdir $libdir, 0755 or die "[*] Could not create $libdir: $!"
    }
    return;
}

How can I modify the script that it Installs with $startdir/pkg/ as root-directory?
