CentOS - Sep 2007 - Zoneminder-1.22.3-6.fc7.i386.rpm has dependency errors on Centos5 server-how to fix?

Running Centos5 server software.

Running ALL software except virtualization and server cluster.

Patched this server software via yum updates as of 9.24.2007

Downloaded the webcam software for FC7 from:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=10106

Zoneminder-1.22.3-6.fc7.i386.rpm 
When YUM tried to install this version of Zondminder, finds this 1 missing
dependency:

Missing Dependency: perl(Device::SerialPort) is needed by package zoneminder

Question: how do I resolve this missing dependency?

I have never compiled a kernal or anything else.

Please lead me to a direction to resolve this.

Thank you for your time.

Ken

Dear Salam,

"Missing Dependency: perl(Device::SerialPort) is needed by package
zoneminder"

Have you ever used "CPAN" for perl. if you donot know than i am not
telling
you the
whole procedure. Please read about CPAN its very very handy for filling Perl
dependencies.

Well, you can also download the source package from CPAN website. Here is
the link

http://search.cpan.org/~cook/Device-SerialPort-1.003001/SerialPort.pm

Down load it in /usr/local and extract here. Always remember
search.cpan.orgits a new world
for PERL.

Look at:

	http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities
	http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/RPMForge

If you have enabled the RPMforge repository, you can simply run:

	yum install perl-Device-SerialPort
