That's what I suspected so I re-compiled mod_perl after I installed perl on the compilation machine but got exactly the same results. > > Is anyone here is aware of another way to get a fixed version of perl > > for CentOS 5? > > You need to get upstream to fix it. Report this bug in our and theirs > bug reportingtools (bugs.centos.org and bugzilla.redhat.com) It's a known bug in RHEL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379791 I now see that the previous bug link I provided was against Fedora and is closed. This one is against 5.0 and is open with recent activity. After some more digging with a colleague we suspect that: 1. We probably miss something about RPM version ordering (the perl version it looks for is 4:... while ours is just plain 5.8.8...) 2. The "overriding" package comes from rpmforge. We solved it in two ways (we have two test fail-over machines so we could try two fixes): 1. Manually installing all the dependent packages in one rpm command (there is a circular dependency) somehow passed fine. 2. Giving our own private repository higher priority.
