Let's try this again...

It's best to start Release: at one once you get into the repository.

No need to say "Event" twice in the Summary.

We usually state the license as "GPL or Artistic".

No need to BR: perl.
/usr/bin/iconv is part of glibc so it's safe to leave it out.  Similarly,
ExtUtils::MakeMaker is in the base perl package.  Technically you don't need any
BR:s at all for this package.

There's no real need to generate the licenses, but it doesn't hurt at all.

The package builds fine on x86_64, development.  rpmlint has this to say:

W: perl-Event devel-file-in-non-devel-package
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Event/EventAPI.h

We generally accept these in Perl packages.  (It's a perl-internal header and it
would be foolish to put one file with no dependencies in a -devel subpackage.)

Review:
* package meets naming and packaging guidelines.
O specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently
(see summary issue above)
* dist tag is present.
* build root is correct.
* license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.  License text included in package.
* source files match upstream:
   789cc8f0b011653cac6451cfef3053a8  Event-1.06.tar.gz
* latest version is being packaged.
O BuildRequires are proper (technically none are required).
* package builds in mock (x86_64, development).
* rpmlint has only ignorable complaints.
* final provides and requires are sane:

APPROVED; please fix up the summary.  If you wish, fix up the BR:s and the License:.

Thanks!  Summary fixed up in CVS, ditto to License.

Built for FC-[45], devel.
