Hi, I just used RPMforge package perl-Mail-Sender, and am looking at the perl cpan site for info, anyone got a simple way to determine if the module is working properly? I am trying to use the cpan info, but it's a bit cryptic (as perl is wont to be). -it says to use this: #!/usr/local/bin/perl use ExtUtils::Installed; my $instmod = ExtUtils::Installed->new(); foreach my $module

I realize this is my fault because once upon a time I installed a package using CPAN and probably other admins on the system have as well but now whenever I update perl I have to jump through hoops to get perl applications to work again (usually updating Scalar::Util and another package with CPAN). I would love to figure out how to fix this so it's not such a headache to keep up to date with

I'm getting tired of converting spreadsheets that someone else updates to csv so my perl scripts can push the data into a mysql database. Is there a better way? I haven't had much luck with perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel (and find it odd that yum prefers the .32 version from epel over .57 from rpmforge anyway). Is the current CPAN version better? Or the equivalent java tools? Or

I followed the Wiki instructions for setting up *yum-priorities*. I added the rpmforge repo I installed clamd without a problem. Now when I go to update I get conflicts with perl-Math-BigInt. Is the only solution to uninstall the base version and then install the rpmforge version? According the the wiki "Packages from repositories with a lower priority will never be used to upgrade

To safely make Perl modules from CPAN in Solaris, I used this procedure: mkdir /opt/cpan chmod 777 /opt/cpan chown joe:101 /opt/cpan PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:/opt/cpan export PERL5LIB /usr/perl5/bin/perlgcc -MCPAN -e shell Also, ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm specifically had 'makepl_arg' => q[LIB=/opt/cpan PREFIX=/opt/cpan INSTALLMAN3DIR=/opt/cpan/man/man3], Does this make sense in CentOS as

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: CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata

Hi List, Is it possible to get an rpm built and added into the plus or dag repos for the perl module svn-notify? (Note: not the same as svn- notify-mirror.) I know it's been brought up before that perl's internal CPAN build/ install can cause serious conflicts with the rpm-based approach; if there are other / better ways of doing this in a standard fashion, please let me know.

Hi all, Since upgrading to perl 5.8.5-36.el4_5.2 I have had no end of problems, starting with needing compress::zlib which I got from rpmforge, then I had to reinstall scalar::util to get mailscanner working but now I can't install or upgrade any perl modules. Has anyone else had problems or can someone tell me what I've done wrong please? regards tom

With all due respect to the various people, their hard work and associated repos, where is the best place to do a yum install for these two packages below in regards to an internet facing production Centos 4.4 server perl-IO-Zlib perl-Archive-Tar I noticed dag and karan repos appear to have it and my experience and research tells me that using CPAN is not an option for possible problems at

heads up and fyi folks... CentOS 4 latest... SpamAssassin version 3.3.1 running on Perl version 5.8.8 :-) i noticed on a centos 4 box after doing a manual yum update and getting 2 updated perl packages from rpmforge again, just a heads up as rpmforge has been rock solid for us for years so we are no bashing spamassassin would not restart after the updates.... spamd: Oct 27 22:32:01.340

Hi, I'm using CentOS 4.3 on all my PC's, and I'm very happy with it. Everything *just* works. I want to give DVD::RIP 0.97.10 a try. I enabled rpmforge and kbs repos, but there's only 0.52.2 available, which has an annoying bug in it. So I installed the main dependency, transcode, via yum. Then I downloaded the (PERL) sources of DVD::RIP 0.97.10, ran configure (e. g. perl

Has anyone actually had any success in installing the perl-Apache-ASP package from rpmforge? CentOS 4 seems to have just the right combination of almost using mod_perl 2 (1.99 before major API changes) to make this extremely hard to get right while staying with somewhat standard packages. I suspect it's in the repo but not actually tested, as I've tried quite a few combinations of

I am running several CentOS 5.2 servers with similar configuration. On all of them I received the following error when using a certain perl module: > Base class package "Class::Accessor::Fast" is empty. > (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package > first.) On most of the servers installing Class::Accessor::Fast manually via CPAN shell has

I'm trying to install swatch using rpmbuild. I'm getting dependency errors saying that I need perl(Date::Calc), perl(Date::Format), and perl(File::Tail). I've been beaten over the head in this group for using CPAN. So methodology do I use to I install those modules? === Al

Hey folks, Maybe there is a Perl/CPAN list that is a better place to ask this? If so, maybe someone can point me to it. Anyway, I want to be able to script the installation of a bunch of CPAN modules, and the first basic problem I am coming up against is that the "cpan" command seems to always return 0 regardless of whether or not the install completed. Google does not bring up a

I enabled rpmforge on a fresh install as per the centos wiki with priorities and attempted to execute 'yum install perl-Digest-Perl-MD5' and received the following: [root at test ~]# yum install perl-Digest-Perl-MD5 Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local
