Hi Hans,

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 ;-)

Tobias
