However, your first step should be to see if the module you want is available packaged for Fedora. You can do that from the command-line as root with: yum install 'perl(Some::Module)' If it isn't found, you can then use CPAN to install it. You may need to install the CPAN module first though with: yum install 'perl(CPAN)' -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
