:)

somehow this perl dependency stuff reminds me of 'dll hell' from windows
platform. There is always some other problem.

I gave up on the rpm install and tried the tarball install.

Unfortunately this doesn't help. The modules that will not install (and I
forgot several in my earlier post) are still not updated and when trying
to install by hand they complain about the same depencies :(

I found the ISBN module, but that module on it's turn fails because of
some depency problem :(

My objection to CPAN is that it often likes to run away and starts to do a
complete update of your perl installation. After that is finished you end
up with 2 different versions of perl installed on the box which causes
even more problems.....
