I have noticed (correct me if I'm wrong) that Email::Sender depends on Moose. I'm not aware of any CentOS 5 or 6 issues (I lean towards CentOS 6.x) with Moose but Moose does have a large number of dependencies. A lot of modern perl modules require antlers (Moose) and the dependency list is long. As a result, un-attended installs can be problematic. I have ventured into local-lib and PerlBrew to try and ensure that the system perl remains un-compromised. I guess the point is, now that you've standardised on an OS, you need to be aware of the eccentricities that that choice may have and the options available. Best. Dermot.
