Yeah, that really sounds like a great idea :) | [ralph at logout downloads]$ rpm -qpl perl-Digest-MD5-2.33-8.i386.rpm | /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/Digest/MD5.pm | /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/auto/Digest/MD5/MD5.bs | /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/auto/Digest/MD5/MD5.so | /usr/share/doc/perl-Digest-MD5-2.33 | /usr/share/doc/perl-Digest-MD5-2.33/Changes | /usr/share/doc/perl-Digest-MD5-2.33/README | /usr/share/man/man3/Digest::MD5.3pm.gz First problem: Wrong version of perl. Won't work. Second problem: Digest::MD5.3pm.gz clashes with the file installed by perl included in CentOS3. Third problem: (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 .) .../site-perl/ is far down in that path, so every module living in there won't get included, if there's a module of the same name somewhere earlier in that path. And that is the problem here. BTW: @INC in RedHat just sucks as there's no possibility to override core modules in perl. The problem with that is upstreams @INC which is exactly the same.
