Hi everyone. I work at a college where we only use Windows. However, I have started a new project which requires me to change over to a linux system. I chose Fedora Core 5 and the installation was a breeze. My project is to take an existing open source project called CUFTS and port it over to mySQL from postgresql. This is all besides the point. Before I can install CUFTS, I have to have certain perl modules installed. This has brought to what I have found to be a considerable problem. Being that I primarily code on a windows machine, I have always used ppm to obtain new modules. It seems that my Fedora does not come with the wonderful tool and I was wondering if anyone in the monastery knows where I could find an rpm for ppm(preferred) or possibly how to install a perl module manually. Thank you people of the craft.
