hmm. I'll have to try this later in the week. I've another machine
I can screw around with :)

I did it for two reasons - 1) because everyone is always preaching
that to build it from source is the best, most problem free way to
have it on a box and 2) because I'd never tried it before. I'd
always used perl rpm's.

Yes, there were a few:

AppConfig-1.52
libwww-perl.5.55391
Text-Autoformat-1.04

those were the only ones that I kept notes about, but I'm fairly
certain there were 2 or 3 others that I had to do by hand.
Which, when you think about all the modules that cpan does
correctly... I cannot complain. Thank you for Bundle::Slash!!

I agree, but this was the quickest way to get the machine going late last nite.
I'll wipe it and try doing it the w/o it's own perl and w/o messing
with the openssl rpms asap (or do it on another box), because now
I've got lib problems it seems:

$ nslookup lottadot.com
nslookup: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libdns.so.4: 
undefined symbol: CRYPTO_set_mem_functions
