I'm attempting to install yum-0.9.4-2_8x.noarch.rpm on a RedHat 8.0 box. rpm tells me that yum requires perl. Why would that be the case? I'm trying to build a box without perl. I've installed the source rpm and I don't see anywhere that perl is actually used. Is perl really required? If not, is my best bet to rebuild the rpm from source without the perl reference, or is there a newer version I should be using? I've searched the yum mailing list and googled, but I can't find any reference to this. Thanks for any help. Eric.
