I see these packages in extras - maybe one is needed? $ yum list perl*http* Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Available Packages perl-DateTime-Format-HTTP.noarch 0.37-2.fc6 extras perl-HTTP-Body.noarch 0.6-3.fc6 extras perl-HTTP-BrowserDetect.noarch 0.98-3.fc6 extras perl-HTTP-Proxy.noarch 0.20-1.fc6 extras perl-HTTP-Recorder.noarch 0.05-1.fc6 extras perl-HTTP-Request-Params.noarch 1.01-1.fc6 extras perl-HTTP-Server-Simple.noarch 0.24-1.fc6 extras perl-HTTP-Server-Simple-Mason.noarch 0.09-5.fc6 extras Haven't had to use CPAN in a while, but (as root) cpan install bundle HTTP::Request If it asks to append packages, I answer yes. A note of caution though - I've read that sometimes CPAN packages can conflict with a distro's perl packages. I've not run into that personally, but thought I should throw it out there. Chris
