I got FAQ-O-Matic 2.7.19 working eventually. So if this was the trigger
for your request: it's not necessary anymore.

(http://iglu.org.il/cgi-bin/fom . works on a copy of the original data)

What modules do we have that use perl 5.6.0 ?

fom gave me an error message about missing GD.pm when I tried to view
the stats page (and stats images were not created). With a different
perl copy than the one from rpm I can't just install the distro's CPAN
modules. 

I know how to install a module from CPAN, but I want to have proper
dependencies between software components (make the FOM package also
depend on perl-GD of the same version).

Anyway, wasn't the server going to be reinstalled or something? Any
progress in that direction?
