3rd party repos like Dag Wieers (http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/) or ATrpms (http://atrpms.net) contain a lot of extra pre-built rpms for 3rd party tools. 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.
