Hi, I am trying to install a package that requires the perl XML::Parser module. So far I have: Googled Installed rpmforge and yum priorities set priorities for all repositories used with rpmforge at 10 tried yum install perl-XML, yum install mod_perl-XML etc. and get response "Nothing to do" so what is the correct yum request to get this package installed. uname -a Linux xxx.co.za 2.6.18-92.1.18el5xen #1 SMP Wed Nov 12 09:48:10 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux TIA ChrisG

The syntax is to wrap the module name in a "perl()" wrapper: yum provides "perl(XML::Parser)" In this case, it points you to the perl-XML-Parser package. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/
