Rudy: I am doing fresh install of RH9. At the present time, I am by-passing installing PERL or any additional modules. I plan to buy a book to read little and then:
1) Uninstall PERL which came with RH 9 2) Re-install latest verion of PERL 3) Instal DBI & DBD::mysql modules I have 1-question: If I install, RH9, mySQL, openSSL, Postfix, dbmail, etc (all latest versions), would it be a problem to remove PERL & rte-install latest version of PERL as described in three steps above?
