Re^4: What's the best way to avoid name collisions when creating files?

$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Data::UUID'

should do the trick. Don't be stupid and refuse to use the 7000+ distributions that don't come standard with Perl.

The Perfect is the Enemy of the Good.

Mixing CPAN installations with an RPM-managed system can be a pain in the rear. However, a quick google search found several `perl-Data-UUID-*.rpm` files available, so it's just a matter of installing it. If it wasn't already available, it's pretty easy to make a .src.rpm of most CPAN tarballs. Then rebuild the .rpm and install those on whatever machine farm you manage. -- `[ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]`	[reply] [d/l]
