I am not a Perl expert, but in my experience the packages installed with CPAN and with RPM does not overwrite each other. CPAN stores the libraries in a different directory in which Perl looks for libraries before than looking for the libraries downloaded with RPM. This is according my experience, but some Perl installation expert will be able to clarify this issue.

Right up until an update for Perl itself is pushed - and then you will find all your packages gone. If you need to tweek, use cpan2rpm to generate rpms. I've generally found the issues are tied to man files - so if you suppress the man file generation in the spec and stick with perldoc for a module's documentation you can generally work around the conflicts. -- Benjamin Franz ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This is why http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/ exists. It's very handy for precisely this sort of situation. It doesn't protect against advanced modules that are now part of the base Perl deployment, or that used to be part of it, but it was critical to my development of the first complete Bugzilla RPM's, and invaluable for submitting .spec files to RPMforge or EPEL. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You are right about the problem about update. That's why I put every Perl library I install on a server in a script that invokes either yum or CPAN to install/update/document the installed libraries. I will give cpan2rpm a try, thank you Ciao, luigi - -- / +--[Luigi Rosa]-- \ Good day for a change of scene.
