Re^3: Mason on CentOS 6

Best to leave the system perl alone, if it gets messed up you can have a broken/unreliable system. perlbrew, makes this simple, even doing it manually is as little as 3 lines. Once you have your own perl install modules and their dependancies via cpan:

cpan HTML::Mason
[download]

Often versions of modules in OS repos are out of date.

So, to summarize, it appears that HTML::Mason, as build in the RPMForge repository won't install with the system Perl. So, I may be able to sue Perlbrew to make a new Perl installation that I can use with HTML::Mason. This appears to mean that I'll also have to rebuild mod_perl using the new Perl installation that I create with Perlbrew. Not sure how to do that yet, but looking into it. I wonder if those people who work on the Mason project or the RPMForge project might want to look into fixing this, if it can be.	[reply]
