I have had some problems installing modules on Redhat 
Linux 6.2.  DBI just doesn't want to go and I'm not really
interested in spending too much time messing with it...
Perl is the priority, not system administration.  

So, for now, SuSE 6.4 is the way to go.  Any module 
installation using perl -MCPAN -e "xxxxx" went 
flawlessly on that distro.  It also comes with more
modules installed by default, thereby reducing the time
required to the box up to speed.  As a supremely lazy 
entity, this is a Good Thing.
