Multiple issues with install_perl_libs.pl

I'm starting over trying to install VCL.  I'm on a RHEL-6 machine, using
the only release of VCL I could find (2.2.1), and I'm up to the point
where I'm trying to run:

 /usr/local/vcl/bin/install_perl_libs.pl

That ends with:

 [...]
 WARNING: failed to install the following components:
 EPEL
 Perl module: Object::InsideOut
 Perl module: RPC::XML

The EPEL issue seems to be an old URL.  I was able to work around it by
doing "yum install epel-release".  After a brief search I couldn't find
a better URL to feed to rpm; I see that download.fedora.redhat.com is
defunct, but substituting the new host name, "dl.fedoraproject.org",
yields a 404.

I see in the docs that the RPC::XML problem is a known issue, but when I
try to install manually by calling cpan directly, I hit the problem
described here:

 http://tinyurl.com/c2gjrrf [mail-archives.apache.org]

That thread suggests that the bug should be fixed as of February, but
this is a fresh download of the VCL package from a couple of days ago.
Any chance the old bug leaked back in?  Or is there a newer release that
I wasn't able to get from the VCL download site?

Thanks,
-m

I should have read that thread I linked more closely.  Andy Kurth
pointed to:

 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/vcl/trunk/managementnode/bin/install_perl_libs.pl

...which works fine.

Michael

I think these settings worked for me (edited install_perl_libs.pl):

- hardcoded URL:

my $epel_url = "http://mirror.utexas.edu/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm"

- changed tar_verbosity:

"tar_verbosity" => "0"

If you are installing manually, check ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm for 'tar_verbosity' => q[0],

Thanks.
