I'm looking to install n2rrd, which requires Perl 5.8.x (http://n2rrd.diglinks.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi)
I see that lots of Perl stuff is installed. Do I just need to yum upgrade perl-libwww-perl-5.78.5 to the latest?
Here's what I have installed perl-wise:
[root@nagios-server nagios2cacti]# rpm -qa | grep perl perl-DBI-1.40-8 perl-HTML-Tagset-3.03-30 perl-XML-Parser-2.34-5 perl-libxml-enno-1.02-31 perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-13 perl-Socket6-0.19-1.2.el4.rf perl-URI-1.30-4 newt-perl-1.08-7 perl-DateManip-5.42a-3 perl-HTML-Parser-3.35-6 perl-libwww-perl-5.79-5 perl-libxml-perl-0.07-30 perl-XML-Encoding-1.01-26 perl-Crypt-DES-2.05-3.2.el4.rf perl-Net-SNMP-5.2.0-1.2.el4.rf perl-rrdtool-1.2.23-1.el4.rf perl-5.8.8-4.el4s1 perl-DBD-Pg-1.49-1.el4s1 perl-Digest-SHA1-2.07-5 perl-Net-DNS-0.48-1 perl-Parse-Yapp-1.05-32 perl-XML-Dumper-0.71-2 mod_perl-1.99_16-4.5 perl-DBD-MySQL-3.0008-1.el4.centos [root@nagios-server nagios2cacti]#

if that n2rrd is pack of Perl scripts, that requires only Perl and some modules, compile n2rrd and other dependences to, say, /usr/local/prorgams/n2rrd and run it; I do it for many programs, from zope to glade3 and they work perfectly
why that? if you use CentOS version without Perl 5.8 in updates repo, then you shouldn't upgrade Perl as RPM; Perl is very strategic program in system, on which depends tons of software

Here's what I have installed perl-wise:
perl-5.8.8-4.el4s1
I just asked the author auf n2rrd (he's sitting right behind me): It has worked for us on CentOS 3 and it *is* working on CentOS 4.5 - which has perl-5.8.5. You have an even newer version of perl (the one from CentOS-Plus), so I don't see which problem you are trying to solve.
Cheers,
