The best way to obtain Embperl, is probably through CPAN (www.cpan.org). The easiest way to do this from a RH installation is to use the CPAN module of perl. This can be done via the following: % cpan OR % perl -MCPAN -e shell You will be asked to configure it if this is the first time running the module (most of the defaults will work, just do what the prompts ask you to do). Once you get a prompt, do the following: cpan> install Embperl NOTE -- this will install the 2.0b7 version. If you do not want that version (perhaps you prefer the stable 1.3x series) then this option is not for you. I do not think the 1.3x series is available through CPAN. The beauty of this installation method is it will work across platforms, and it will allow things to be recompiled. Sometimes binary packages (like RPMs) make some funny choices on how things are set-up and can make for nasty debugging sessions -- so I do not rely on them. This is my preferred method (beyond manual install) for all perl modules, and Embperl is a perl module. Hope that helps.
