[Filterproxy-users] Re: filterproxy

[Bob M. <mce...@dr...>]

It looks like you're using mandrake packages on a redhat system.  And
the packages you got want perl 5.6.1.  FilterProxy itself is happy with
perl 5.005 or later.

Ah, and it looks like you got some pld rpms too.  PLD (Polish Linux
Distribution) puts things in hosed places (like "i386-pld-linux" below)
that redhat won't be happy with.

Finding redhat packages is much harder now than it was a year ago.  You
used to be able to just use rpmfind and it would grab things for you.
Now PLD and Mandrake packages are largely incompatible with redhat.
Redhat also used to have all the CPAN packages in rpm format, but they
haven't updated it in years and now they're horribly out of date.  :(

The *easiest* way to do this is to build it yourself.  Grab the source
for eperl from the Debian project:
    http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/eperl.html
At the bottom there's the links to Source Code:
    http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/eperl/eperl_2.2.14.orig.tar.gz
    http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/eperl/eperl_2.2.14-3.diff.gz
Apply the patch, build, and install the thing yourself.

Second, use the perl CPAN tool to install the rest:
    > perl -MCPAN -e shell
[...]
    CPAN> install Compress::Zlib
    CPAN> install Bundle::LWP
    CPAN> install Time::HiRes
That should do it.

If anyone wants to send me rpms for any of these, I'd be happy to put
them on my site for people to download.
