Hello, I'm trying to help a friend recover from a machine compromise.

We've reinstalled/upgraded the OS (RH7.2) and have installed all the
components the server needs:
           MySQL      (from rpm)
           PostGreSQL (from tarball)
           PHP4       (from tarball)
           Perl       (from OS install)
           mod_perl   (from tarball)
           OpenSSL    (from tarball)
           mod_ssl    (from tarball)
           mm         (from tarball)
           Apache     (from tarball)

All the components install successfully and basic interfaces seem to work.
While the OS install of perl seemed to include the DBI, DBD::mysql modules
the interface didn't seem to work.  We tried use perl -MCPAN -e shell
to "install Bundle::CPAN" and then get the needed mobules.  However the
scripts hangs on the 

Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz

line and comsumes 100% server resources.  ^C won't abort the process, all other
terminals are unresponsive.  We have to power cycle the server to recover.

I then tried to instal stable.tar.gz (5.6.1) into an alternate location and
just see if there is something wrong with the default OS perl that my friend
selected, selected options to not overwrite/link to /usr/bin/perl.  Configure
runs to complete, make depend is fine.  make, however, crashes with an
internal error in cc1 on toke.c with no other information given.  
(I believe that our gcc is 2.96, can't verify it as I can't power cycle the
server remotely...)

If anyone has any advice for what is wrong with either the RH OS perl and why
the loaded modules don't work, or why the tarball won;t compile, please
let me know.  Thank you.

Eric Nielsen
