I have never compiled a kernal or anything else.
Please lead me to a direction to resolve this.

Dear Salam,
"Missing Dependency: perl(Device::SerialPort) is needed by package zoneminder"
Have you ever used "CPAN" for perl. if you donot know than i am not telling you the whole procedure. Please read about CPAN its very very handy for filling Perl dependencies.
Well, you can also download the source package from CPAN website. Here is the link
http://search.cpan.org/~cook/Device-SerialPort-1.003001/SerialPort.pm
Down load it in /usr/local and extract here. Always remember search.cpan.orgits a new world for PERL.

CPAN is horrible and is a good way to break your system (it can replace perl modules provided in the system with newer api incompatable ones). i suggest you grab the srpm from fedora and build a rpm that you can install and keep track of what is installed on your system.

Salam!!!
Well, i havenot faced such kind of issues. Its about months i am running applications and their performance also seems to be good enough.
Secondly, why using srpms, another way i gave the source download, well man cpan is not be useable in this scenario.

Using SRPMS you build from source and get rpms that you can install. you then know what installed the files on your system and when updates break dependencies.

Hi
I think the general point being made is that CentOS has a package management system and that you will save yourself a lot of hassle if you always use that system where possible.
Lets say you use CPAN to install perl-XXXX the RPM database has no idea that perl-XXXX has been installed so if at a later date an RPM is created that supplies perl-XXXX you can get into a very confusing situation.
In my earlier days as a Linux admin coming from a Unix Background I did as you suggest using Red Hat based systems and installing software from places like CPAN or compiling from source without making RPMS. But when you get to the point where you are managing a large number systems this turns into a LOT of complication that isn't needed. So if you are managing a number of systems I suggest you take the time to learn about creating and rebuilding RPMS. Once you get used to this it will safe you a lot of effort.
Have a nice day :)

But after you use cpan you can use --force with rpm to install it.. right? That's safe isn't it?

I can contribute to that guide - how about using csh as the default shell ?

Look at:
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/RPMForge
If you have enabled the RPMforge repository, you can simply run:
yum install perl-Device-SerialPort
Kind regards,

Always nice to get help from Dag :), but you can find which package to install by the command:
yum provides "perl(Device::SerialPort)"
with the rpmforge repo enabled. This will return (for example):
perl-Device-SerialPort.x86_64 1.003001-1.el5.rf rpmforge Matched from: perl(Device::SerialPort) = 1.003
