Ok, this is just stupid. LOL. Not you.....I was installing this on
about 40 systems yesterday, 5 of which were CentOS 6.x the rest were
CentOS 5.x. It would fail on all of the CentOS 6.x systems. Today, I
ran the same commands so that I could get the errors and it installed
on all of them just perfectly. Below is all I did, plus hitting "yes"
when it asked about installing dependencies.
]# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v2.00)
Enter 'h' for help.
cpan[1]> install Email::Sender
Thanks Anyway
Steve

I am trying to use CPAN to install Email::Sender on all of our systems for use
in a perl script. Most of our systems use CentOS 5.x, but I have a couple that
are now on CentOS 6.x. When trying to install it here, it keeps coming up with
dependency issues and no matter how many of those dependencies I install, or
attempt to install (because those need dependencies too), I can't get it
installed. Is there a version for CentOS 6.x? Or a replacement for it? Or
instructions somewhere for installing it on CentOS 6.x?
I don't have access to a CentOS system, so I won't be able to help you with
specific details unique to CentOS. However, I do have some questions that might
help you or allow others to help you better:
1. What version of Perl are you using?
2. How was it installed (i.e., from a source distribution or through some
CentOS package manager)?
3. How are you attempting to install Email::Sender (from a source distribution
or a cpan client)?
There are CPAN installation programs that will install required prerequisite
modules. Are you using one of these? The ones I know about are cpan and cpanm.
I was able to install Email::Sender version 1.300006 in a Perl 5.12
installation under Mac OS X with no problem using cpan.
Please post the specific commands you are using to install Email::Sender and
the error messages you get when it fails.
Have you read the advice here: <http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html>,
which mentions difficulty with RedHat and CentOS systems.
Good luck!
