Hi,
I am tring to install mkcdrec on centos 4.2. ( makes a bootable backup image of linux)
I am using an rpm that I found for FC4 but it won't install it says that I am missing a package.
perl(are) required by mkcdrec, v0.9.1, 1
That is saying that a perl library are.pm ins required by this package. When the package was built rpm scanned all perl scripts and modules for "include" and "use" lines to pick up all required libraries.
That said I have never seen a library on cpan (just searched) called are.pm, so I willing to bet the perldeps script misread something. To narrow this down, you might consider using rpm2cpio to extract the files from the rpm, and then foreach perl script run:
/usr/lib/rpm/perl.req $perl_script
This will spit out the requirements of that script as rpm would have seen them. Then once you have found the one that spits out perl(are) look at it and try to figure out where it wrong. If you send the script to the rpm-devel list I would be happy to look at it to figure out what went wrong (but you'll need to find the needle for me first).

I have check using yum and I have perl installed + lots of moduals.
