Re: C headers not found when installing Sys::Virt on CentOS

CentOS includes an RPM package for this module: perl-Sys-Virt

If you want to build the latest version, I'd suggest fetching the source RPM and building a new one with the latest version of the module, or looking at what it is doing and replicating that.

Thanks! That solves my problem a different and much simpler way. Is there an easy way to find out which perl CPAN modules are packaged for CentOS? I know about the website at http://deb.perl.it/ that works for Debian and Ubuntu packages. Is there an equivalent for CentOS or other RedHat derived distros?	[reply]

There are many such sites, but even my favorite, pkgs.org, is seriously lacking in search capabilities, so a search for `Sys::Virt` will come up empty. Therefore, I'd recommend just googling for `rpm Module::Name` instead. Note however that in this case you could have just searched with `yum search Sys::Virt` on your machine itself.
