With all due respect to the various people, their hard work and associated repos, where is the best place to do a yum install for these two packages below in regards to an internet facing production Centos 4.4 server perl-IO-Zlib perl-Archive-Tar I noticed dag and karan repos appear to have it and my experience and research tells me that using CPAN is not an option for possible problems at times (no disrespect intended) background: spamassassin and sa-update sa-update complains about Can't locate Archive/Tar.pm in @INC etc etc blah research showed that it *appears* they are in fedora core "core" yet evidentally not in the upstream "core"??? thanks and kind regards, - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net
