Ron, The reason I primarily went to RPM's over the CPAN install option had more to do with convenience and my limited knowledge than anything else. When I had issues installing perl mods under CPAN, I never really understood how to resolve the problem or remove and re-install the modules. Anyway, sorry to create more work for you and I hope I didn't sound overly critical of your great work which I will probably use in the near future.
