[OT] Moving WYPUG
Hi gang,
After a few months of outrageous instability, I am now moving WYPUG on
to a Linux server (redhat 7.2). Using ApacheToolbox
(http://www.apachetoolbox.com) I have managed to get Apache, mod_perl
and MySQL up and running, along with a few Apache modules. At this
point everything is running perfectly.
I now need to install some Perl modules (DBD-MySql, Image-Magick, etc).
Under ActivePerl on WYPUG's current Win2K box, I would simply use the
Perl Package Manager (PPM) to download and install these modules. Is
there an equivalent under Unix? If not, what's the best way to install
modules? In short, what do I need to know?
A step-by-step guide would be great (I'm a 100% Unix newbie), but I
would also be extremely grateful for pointers to the relevant docs,
URI's, etc.
Thank you all in advance.

You might be willing to spend some time setting up CPAN.pm. It's a bit
of a hassle to get it working right, but once you're done it feels just
like PPM :-)
Cheers,

Actually I don't think that really "fixes" it...
That's going to search for
rpm\s+version\s+3
or
4\.+
You want
} elsif ($rpm_version =~ /rpm\s+version\s+(?:3|4)\.+/i) {

i'll toss in my $0.02 here - if you're running redhat, you can use
makerpm.pl to generate rpm's from your cpan source code. i use this all
the time and have never had a problem.
http://www.perl.com/cs/user/query/q/6?id_topic=61
the version of makerpm.pl you find may not work with rpm version 4.0 or
higher, this will fix that:

You can get ppm for Linux. I don't think many people use it.

(as root)
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell; [1]
(answer loads of really simple config questions the first time you
install - just accept the defaults)
cpan> install Acme::Buffy;
installs Acme::Buffy from source, hopefully asking you about
installing prerequisites first if it needs them (or just installs them
automatically if you selected "follow" during the config)
Later.
Mark.
[1] The command 'cpan' is often set up as an alias for this on many
systems

Nico thank you so much for your prompt reply. I really appreciate it.

just type
perl -MCPAN -eshell
this will ask you some simple questions, about the nearest mirror to you,
and so on, if you are on the command-prompt, type install Your::Module and
it will fetch the module from cpan, and install it...
