For those using RHEL5/CentOS5 and wanting to update,

We use Scientific Linux 5 which is a re-compiled RHEL 5

*erm*, actually it's Scientific Linux 4 (RHEL 4), the rest is true tho ;)

- with Dag's 3.56 rpm installed. I installed HTML::Parser 3.59 there from CPAN (with local make) without unistalling the rpm. The URI detection behavious didn't change, so I am interested in your procedure.


Yes, I downloaded the perl-HTML-Parser-3.56 src.rpm package from RPMForge:

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-HTML-Parser/perl-HTML-Parser-3.56-1.rf.src.rpm

Extract the SPEC file, edit the "Version" and "Release" lines to 3.59 and 1.el5, respectively.

(no need for the latter here, see above)


Download the HTML-Parser-3.59 tarball

http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/HTML-Parser-3.59.tar.gz

Copy the edited SPEC file to the /SPECS dir and the source tarball to the /SOURCES dir of your build environment, and build the package with:

rpmbuild -ba --target=`uname -m` perl-HTML-Parser.spec

and install the package with rpm.


Hope that helps :)


Worked like a charm, thank you very much!
