Hi Robert.  It seems you're stuck on step 1 :-(.

You don't appear to have the modules (or not in the right place) for the CPAN approach.

I don't know if rpm's and cpan will play together very well.  I know some manual installs don't
work well with Debian packages, but I can't speak for RedHat on this.

Personally, I would try to be consistent and stick with the rpm's.

Everything needed should be available as rpm's.  You may want to follow the red hat install notes
per the faq (just the perl steps 2 and 6-13).  Note the version dependencies from the rpm's.

It sounds like you were ok on Apache and Postgres.

Try the above and then go through the flow chart and see what happens.

I'll be gone until this evening, but would be curious to hear how this works.

Good luck,
Steve

     Some of the applications have newer version however the installation instructions remain the
same. Just substitute the old version with a newer version.
