Just to let you know ... Thanks to Les's suggestion of trying rpms from ATrpms rather than CPAN, I went ahead and downloaded and installed the perl-IO-String, perl-IO-Zlib, perl-Archive-Zip, perl-Archive-Tar and perl-Compress-Zlib rpms. Seems everything is working again now ... So thanks much

All the rpms are usually called perl-<Module-Name>. i.e. perl-Compress-Zlib Set yourself up for these repos and then install using rpms instead of cpan. You should be able to get things sorted using compatible rpms. Regards, Les ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
