Meredith,

You need to tell us what platform you are using, windows, OsX, or linux.

But I would say from the fact that it has a .spec file that you are
meant to make an rpm file from these files. That is a file that tells
redhat(and like distributions) linux where to put the files when you use
their package manager. If you use a redhat distro you should be able to
run rpm-build(check this) on  the folder to get the rpm file.

It is a perl script which means that if you have perl installed, and
you are likely to if you run linux, you can go to that directory where
the script is and run ./rem2ics (please note the punctuation). 

You can also open the script in a text editor to read the documentation
which is near the top of the file. You can also run make in the
directory to process the file, so that you have a nice manual to use
with perldoc.

Sorry if I've told you what you already know. But better more than less
information.

If you are on windows, you will need help from someone else who has got
this going on that os.
