If you are having problems getting all the Perl modules to install on a
RedHat 8.0 system, try adding a line
%_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0
to the file /root/.rpmmacros

If you aren't sure how to do this, type the following
         su -
         echo '%_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0' >> /root/.rpmmacros
and then run my install.sh script again.

This will make it more tolerant of the RPMs that RedHat's own CPAN-->RPM
converter creates.
