Gentlefolk,
I've run into one of those issues that are inevitable when using install
packages--there's a manual installation that doesn't describe how it's
going to get along with an existing RPM installation on RedHat Linux.
I've the Perl and mod_perl RPMs installed, but wanted to pull the
UserAgent module to use with it. I went to poe.perl.org, and they
suggested to use the CPAN installation ('perl -MCPAN -e shell'),
which wanted me to install "Bundle::libnet". Ok...and that results in
rebuilding the entire Perl world.
Well, OK, I know my version needed updating... But now it's fuzzy on
what to keep, and what to shoot. Everything from this build goes in
/usr/local, by default; RedHat puts everything in /usr/bin and /usr/lib.
Well, with the RPMs still installed I'm sure not going to override and
stuff things on the top of their installs. But what can I uninstall
to reduce the system clutter? Is everything I have with the RedHat RPM
installed with this CPAN install? And what about Maurice?
If someone's done this and knows, cool. Otherwise, I guess I'll just
uninstall the RPMs and see what breaks...
Cheers,
