Hi all,
What is the best way to install additional perl modules? Is there any yum repositories that I can pull the rpms from? I prefer not to use CPAN or compile the modules myself because that'll break the purpose of using enterprise Linux and risk the chances of breaking the dependancies. (I am not a Linux guru, I may be wrong here, sorry.) I am now trying to install some modules like MIME::parser, Date::Parse, Date::Format, etc.
Thank you.

If they are not available from CentOS (try 'yum install perl-Date-Parse' etc) then they might be via RPMForge -- they package a lot of perl modules, the easiest way to get packages from them is to install the rpmforge-release rpm first:
http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/rpmforge-release/
And then try something like 'yum list perl*' to see what is available.
If they don't have the rpm you are after then the easiest thing might be to build one yourself -- I find that cpanflute2 from the perl-RPM-Specfile rpm works for most CPAN modules:
http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/perl-RPM-Specfile/
There is also more on this in the archives for this list...
