CentOS specificly, is there any rule of thumb about package names when searching for and installing things using yum? I ask, after I finally found the perl/Tk package I needed, but only after trying several incantations of the package name, from the full blown alpha/numeric name to simply perl/Tk. Is it safe to assume when searching or yum'ing a package that just the package name and perhaps up to the release version would apply in a majority of cases?
Many thanks...
yum search perl-tk
