CentOS - Jul 2007 - yum upgrade perl question

I'm looking to install n2rrd, which requires Perl 5.8.x
(http://n2rrd.diglinks.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi)

I see that lots of Perl stuff is installed. Do I just need to yum
upgrade perl-libwww-perl-5.78.5 to the latest?

Here's what I have installed perl-wise:

[root at nagios-server nagios2cacti]# rpm -qa | grep perl
perl-DBI-1.40-8
perl-HTML-Tagset-3.03-30
perl-XML-Parser-2.34-5

if that n2rrd is pack of Perl scripts, that requires only Perl 
and some modules, compile n2rrd and other dependences to, say, 
/usr/local/prorgams/n2rrd and run it; I do it for many 
programs, from zope to glade3 and they work perfectly

why that? if you use CentOS version without Perl 5.8 in 
updates repo, then you shouldn't upgrade Perl as RPM; Perl is 
very strategic program in system, on which depends tons of 
software

I just asked the author auf n2rrd (he's sitting right behind me): It
has worked for us on CentOS 3 and it *is* working on CentOS 4.5 - which
has perl-5.8.5. You have an even newer version of perl (the one from
CentOS-Plus), so I don't see which problem you are trying to solve.

Cheers,

Ralph
