Nah, no problem, Eric (the other one :) ) is right, those modules should really be installed from the RPMs. I will fix it this afternoon. --Ron

Ron,

The reason I primarily went to RPM's over the CPAN install option had
more to do with convenience and my limited knowledge than anything else.
When I had issues installing perl mods under CPAN, I never really
understood how to resolve the problem or remove and re-install the
modules. Anyway, sorry to create more work for you and I hope I didn't
sound overly critical of your great work which I will probably use in
the near future.

Domnick, glad to hear it worked perfectly for you. Eric, yeah, I agree about 
using RPMs for the perl modules. I'm out of town until late today, but I'll 
update my script to make that change ASAP when I get back.  --Ron

I can confirm this works on CentOS 6.2 on XenServer 6.0 it took 35
minutes, and I was able to go live as soon as the script finished.

I migrated from cents 5.2, and did the backup, and restore took an hour.
Perfect setup. Thanks a bunch for that script.

Just for the record, using RPMs is the preferred method (instead of
using CPAN), for several reasons that I don't think I need to expound.
RPMs will be used in the 'official' version, so doing so now would be
prudent.

Oh, actually, looks like I may have interpreted your question backward.
I suppose it would have been better to find the YUM packages for all the
perl modules instead of using CPAN, but again, each of those sections
was taken from code that essentially already did the heavy lifting, I
simply adapted them to fit into the larger picture, and once it worked,
I left it alone. That flow chart that starts "Does it work?" and later
asks "Did you f*** with it?" comes to mind . . . :D

Eric,

Fair question. The short answer is that this script evolved as I
tackled each install issue in turn, and being partly pieced from other
install procedures and partly from my own code, what worked was simply
left alone and kept intact. I believe that particular code that pulls
those perl modules using YUM was part of one of the original CentOS 5
install scripts where I borrowed part of the code from.

List,

This question appears to come up often enough that a turnkey CentOS
6.x installer script is probably worth sharing in its entirety. It is
available for now via a folder on my company's Box account in both
7zip and gzipped tar formats with accompanying MD5 and SHA1 hashes
(if
someone has a more appropriate hosting location, let me know):

https://www.box.com/shared/de954e52e0816ffc2e93

This is not officially supported for anyone but myself, but as it can
make CentOS 6.x installs trivial---I and several colleagues have used
it without issue---I will try to respond to any queries about it that
are posted here to this list.

If you plan to use this, read the README thoroughly, and as with any
unsupported script or software, it is strongly recommended that you
browse through the script to be sure you understand it before using
it.

That looks good, Ron. May I ask one question? Why don't you install
the
perl modules using YUM instead of CPAN as your script installs the
rpmforge repo which maintains these modules?
