Hi,
Running mod_perl, and trying to get Apache2::Request installed. I can't seem
to find an RPM for it. Has anyone got this working on CentOS 5?
I am not a perl expert, but since nobody else is commenting...
Check out the cpan command. It's an interactive program that you can
use to manage perl add-ons. Not all perl stuff is available via RPM
and since perl is pretty well self-contained, you can't get into to
much trouble by pulling things in from other sources.
To the contrary, you can get in quite a lot of trouble mixing CPAN and
RPM naively. Checkout cpan2rpm at http://www.arix.com/perl/cpan2rpm/ and
RPMForge at http://rpmforge.net/ instead.
Either is MUCH safer than directly mixing CPAN with the normal Yum managed
Perl installation.

I don't think it's a good idea to follow the catalog's suggestion to force
the "Double Helix" on your biologist friends, or the "Wavelength" on your
physicist friends. They have access to virulent pathogens and liquid
nitrogen, and I just know it will end in tears before bedtime.
