Hi,
I want to install a perl/dbi/sql script on the web server, but it looks
like redhat comes with a pretty poor perl installed. So, i need to install
lots of modules, each which misses other ones; so i wonder if there is a
more convenient way to install missing perl modules (i'm acccustomed to the
rather complete activestate under windows, as well as the perl module
manager, so i wonder if there is something similar for linux)
Hans

Install the 'CPAN' module and afterwards you can do something like
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
which gives you a kind of shell and if you try to 'install PACKAGE' this
will automatically install all other missing packages too.

In which sense poor? Is perl too old or only to incomplete?
(Which RedHat? 7.3? lsb_release -r should reveal that [given that it
follows the gLSB to at least a certain extend])
Besides the suggestion from Michael Wiedmann to use 'perl -MCPAN -e shell'
there are also a lot of PERL modules available as RPM. Try
http://www.redhat.com/apps/download/advanced_search.html
In general I prefer to use the database (rpm or deb/dpkg) in favour of the
perl installation since otherwise it is a bit unclear what is on the
harddisk -- and updating a bit more difficult ;-)
