Some doubts: (cross posted with the OpenSuSE forum) 1) I am not clear as to why some rpm's are named i386 and some noarch. eg) perl-libwww-perl-5.801-8.noarch.rpm perl-GDTextUtil-0.86-8.i386.rpm
I suspect the i386 means Intel but when I install a perl i386 rpm on my Mainframe z890 it works (under Linux). 2) when I install some perl RPM's on my SuSe 9.3 from rpmpam I had no problems. However, when I go into CPAN (perl -MCPAN -e shell), I find that the rpm's for the perl modules are not showing up when I do an "i" on the name (e.g. perl-AnyData-xxx.rpm was installed and then under CPAN, "i AnyData"). is this normal? I am trying to avoid using CPAN because I have been burned before when I install and module that I need to remove later on. CPAN won't allow me. Another problem with CPAN is that I need to do it with me present, I can't just automate the installation of a bunch of RPM's for new servers. Any suggestions will be appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
