Hi all,

Newbie perl question here.  I'm trying to install the perl module
Mail::Graph so I can generate graphs for specific inboxes.  What is the
easiest way to do this?  I used CPAN once before on a previous
installation (RH 7.1) and it ended up installing a newer version of perl
alongside the already installed version of perl which screwed things up
a bit.  I don't want that to happen again.

I downloaded the source of the perl module and ran the Makefile which
told me I'm missing more prerequisite perl modules.

Is there anyway else to do this without downloading the source of each
one and building them individually or without hosing my perl
installation?

I'm running Red Hat 8. Suggestions?

Just grab "cpan2rpm" from here:

Once you've got that you should be able to do "cpan2rpm Mail::Graph" and you'll end up with a nicely packaged rpm all ready for your system.
