You need two packages installed that are part of Fedora FC6 repositories: yum install perl-libwww-perl perl-XML-Parser If you install 'perl-libwww-perl' and 'perl-XML-Parser', then you're all set to install the SlimServer RPM itself. Remember: If you install something via CPAN, then RPM knows nothing about it.  So, from a dependency perspective, RPM thinks it's not installed.    -- Jeff
