CPAN tracks versions without regard to how the module was installed (CPAN, manual via tarball or RPM) so you'll get better reliability and configuration management by using CPAN instead of RPM. RPM is fine for everything but perl modules; perl has its own configuration management system which in this case works better than the OS's CM system. -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
