I am trying to run a perl script that said it needs Net::SMPP

I ran this: your_host]# *perl -MCPAN -e shell*

Ouch dude, you just broke your server. Try to yum update anything perl related in the future:)

What else do I need?

First, install SMPP, not SNMP?

Second, use a repo, use span2rpm... Then force the rpm in I guess to bring the rpm db into a blissfully ignorant, but happy state:)

I am trying to run a perl script that said it needs Net::SMPP

I ran this: your_host]# *perl -MCPAN -e shell* cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.76) ReadLine support enabled cpan> *install Net::SNMP

seemed to work. no errors reported. however when I run perl I still get the same error saying needs

Two possibilities - but first, did you type the asterisk before install? Anyway, did cpan *say* that it had successfully installed? I've had things fail, and have to go into .cpan/Build/<path>, and make;make install. The other possibility is that for some reason, it's not where it needed to be, and you might try yum install Net-SNMP

Is that a typo or did you actually install Net::SNMP when the script wants Net:SMPP?

It may be too late for you, but I've added Net::SMPP to the list of CPA modules that I have packaged into RPMs in my repository.

See http://rpm.mag-sol.com/
