Perl modules installed with FC5

[sej7278]

Jees, has anyone else noticed how incredible barebones the Perl 5.8.8 install is on FC5?

No Net::Pcap, NetPacket::Ethernet, Unicode::String, XML::Parser, RSS::Simple, MIME::Lite.....

And CPAN seems to be broken the same as Yum, it always seems to timeout whether it's using LWP or FTP and apparently the "upgrade your Bundle:pan" warning is bogus too!

Back to the old "perl Makefile.PL && make && make install" again

[Jman]

My cpan wasn't doing much until I downloaded MIRRORED.BY manually. Go figure.

There's a few perl packages in Extras as well, but I really don't think rpm packagers are going to get all of CPAN in any time soon.
