Hi

Yep I could do so. Its just that happened to be installed already through cpan.

I'm not that great with rpm at the moment, but reading the spec file,
I can't see anywhere where it states a requirement for the mentioned
perl modules. Would you know where its getting its requirement from?

Thanks anyway
