Hi Matt, You need to "git add" Makefile.PL.in to the repo. Once you do that, and apply the following patch, most of "make distcheck" will work. The only remaining failure seems to be that these files are not removed by "make uninstall": ERROR: files left after uninstall: ./lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod ./lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/virtv2v/.packlist which I haven't investigated yet.
