What do you mean by "I cannot invoke CPAN from the shell"? What unexpected behaviour do you see?

I don't recommend mixing RPM-installed modules with CPAN-installed modules in the same Perl installation. It's bound to lead to problems eventually (there's a chance it even led to whatever problems you're currently having).

The system Perl that comes with Fedora already has a number of RPM-installed modules with it. I therefore strongly recommend only installing new modules using RPM or yum. I know that not all CPAN modules are available that way but you have a couple of options. You can find new repositories that have other CPAN modules available (I run one such repository - and I take requests for new modules) or you can learn how to create your own RPMs from CPAN modules - it's really not that hard.

See my presentation Perl in RPM-Land for more details.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
