[CentOS] perl module

Hi list,

I have trouble install the following perl modules to my Centos 4.2 server
and I need help

Digest::SHA1
Digest::HMAC
Net::DNS
Time::HiRes
HTML::Tagset
HTML::Parser
Pod::Usage
Parse::Syslog
Statistics::Distributions

I tried "perl -MCPAN -e shell" and then "install Pod::Usage"
and I got the
following errors:

Going to write /root/.cpan/Metadata
Warning: Cannot install Pod::Usage, don't know what it is.
Try the command

    i /Pod::Usage/

to find objects with matching identifiers.

Then I tried to download individual module and install it manually, but I
got dependency warnings.  Please help!!!

Thanks.

It looks like ftp.perl.org isn't getting resolved - looks like a DNS
problem, possibly just a temporary problem.

If it's not a DNS problem, you might want to try reconfiguring CPAN by
running "o conf init" from the CPAN shell.

However, a couple of the Perl modules you listed are part of the base
CentOS distribution (run "yum install perl-Time-HiRes
perl-HTML-Parser" to download and install them), and most of the rest
are available in Dag's repository.  If one or two of the modules
aren't available as RPMs, you can download cpan2rpm
(http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/) and easily package them.  I
personally prefer to use RPMs for as much as possible, rather than
installing software using a non-RPM mechanism such as CPAN.  It makes
it easier to check version numbers (since version numbers are all in
the RPM database) and update software (just run "yum update"), and it
makes it easier to duplicate your setup on another computer (since you
don't have to configure and run the CPAN module on multiple machines).

Check other repositories for them.

First try to install the needed Perl modules from CentOS base. If not
available from there, then check Dag's repository: he has a lot of Perl
modules available as EL4 RPMs. As an alternate use Karan's repo
centos.karan.org: he rebuilds Fedora Extras 3 (in future FE4) packages
and thus provides quite a lot of Perl modules too.

I expect that all of these apart from the last 3 are available for
Fedora 4, either from FC Extras or RPMForge -- if I were you I'd grab
the SRPMs and rebuild and then install them.

Some might also be available for RHEL4 from RPMForge already...

For any you can't find SRPMs then I find cpanflute2 from the
perl-RPM-Specfile RPM generally does an OK job of building RPMs from
cpan tgz files.

I got everything except for Pod::Usage.  I looked all over places but 
can't find it.  Can you tell what repositories have this package.

Thanks

I'm happy with using CPAN, but one should avoid mixing rpms and CPAN.
