Wait a minute... 30 CPAN modules?
I only installed about 10 ...
I hope these 30 modules are just your favorites, not all required....
If they are required, please send a list! That may be my dilema.
BTW, I searched the interchange website on CPAN, and didn't find much
help.
Oh, yea, about rpm... It sometimes quits if it stubs a toe, and doesn't
tell you that it didn't do the whole lot. I have taken to:
ls *.rpm > doit
Then vi doit and give the command:
:%s/^/rpm -ivh /
Save and then run "sh -x doit" sometimes more than once (to deal with
missing dependencies). Or I will go back and add a --nodeps.
Fortunately, rpm detects when it has already installed and skips pretty
quickly on subsequent runs.
It also helps to re-arrange the rpms in order, if you have a hunch on the
dependencies... I like to put the libraries and RPM updates at the top.
