Hi,
Running mod_perl, and trying to get Apache2::Request installed. I can't seem to find an RPM for it. Has anyone got this working on CentOS 5?
TIA

I am not a perl expert, but since nobody else is commenting...
Check out the cpan command. It's an interactive program that you can use to manage perl add-ons. Not all perl stuff is available via RPM and since perl is pretty well self-contained, you can't get into to much trouble by pulling things in from other sources.

To the contrary, you can get in quite a lot of trouble mixing CPAN and RPM naively. Checkout cpan2rpm at http://www.arix.com/perl/cpan2rpm/ and RPMForge at http://rpmforge.net/ instead.
Either is MUCH safer than directly mixing CPAN with the normal Yum managed Perl installation.
