Installation Questions Regarding RPM / tar.gz

[Steve Douglas]

The script runs as expected (it states "oh" you have this already -- I
updated all the Perl modules from earlier MS installations).  It reports the
Convert::BinHex and MIME-tools couldn't be installed or dependency error.  I
have cpan'd in perl for each and they up-to-date.

How can I completely remove MS safely knowing all the PERL modules are
updated safely?  After wiping the slate the theory is it should work.

What happens when you unpack it, cd into the new directory and
./install.sh ?
If you don't run the ./install.sh script, I pretty much guarantee it
will fail.
