I'm trying to install perl 5.6.1 on FC3 (64 bit) becuase I have a
program one of the sites uses (gd chart) that will not build on any
newer perl. I've downloaded the rpm, but I get this:
rpm -ivh perl-5.6.1-36.1.73.i386.rpm
warning: perl-5.6.1-36.1.73.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID

Nothing to do
I have cpan, etc installed for the current versions of perl. I'm unsure
how I can get the old versions without mucking up my 5.8.5 install.
Pointers? Does anyone else have gd-chart running on FC3?
