+%description perl
+The Perl-RPM module is an attempt to provide Perl-level access to the
+complete application programming interface that is a part of the Red
+Hat Package Manager (RPM). Rather than have scripts rely on executing
+RPM commands and parse the resulting output, this module aims to give
+Perl programmers the ability to do anything that would otherwise have
+been done in C or C++.
+
+The interface is being designed and laid out as a collection of
+classes, at least some of which are also available as tied-hash
+implementations.
+
+At this time, the interface only provides access to the database of
+installed packages, and header data retrieval for RPM and SRPM files
+is not yet installed.  Error management and the export of most defined
+constants, through RPM::Error and RPM::Constants, respectively, are
+also available.
