[rhn-users] perl modules on RH ES v4 ...

[Rodrigo Sanchez]

Hi All,
 I have been trying to install Test::Simple Module (perl) on my
RedHat ES v4 (x86_64),
There is no rpm for this perl's module, and when I ran
cpan command (or perl -MCPAN -e shell), I got the following
error:

...

Well, I have been trying to install Test::Pod and Test::Pod::Coverage too,
without any success (same errors..)  ... (really I have tried a lot of
perl modules ... and always the same ...

We bought a Dell servant the last week and came
with RedHat ES v4, and it has been really difficult to install
everything what we needed (SpamAssassin, Razor2, etc etc)

I'm a new RedHat User ... may be this is the real problem ... :)

Any Hint ?
Any Idea ?
