[Perl-unix-users] Upgrading to 5.8.0.804 on linux

[Suresh Govindachar]

Hello,

My present system:  Red Hat Linux 7.1 (OS 2.4.2-2)

Output of "rpm -qa | grep -i perl" is:                                                 
          
    gimp-perl-1.2.1-5
    perl-Perl-RPM-0.291-2
    mod_perl-1.24_01-2
    perl-5.6.0-12
    perl-DBD-Pg-0.95-1
    perl-SGMLSpm-1.03ii-4
    perl-DBI-1.14-10
    openssl-perl-0.9.6-3
    postgresql-perl-7.0.3-8
    groff-perl-1.16.1-7
    perl-DBD-MySQL-1.2215-1

I want to install: ActivePerl-5.8.0.804-i686-linux.rpm

The command "rpm -e --test perl-5.6.0-12"
issues error message about breaking lots of dependencies

Questions:   

1) Should I uninstall anything before installing 5.8.0.804?
2) What command should I use?  Will 
      #rpm -i ActivePerl-5.8.0.804-i686-linux.rpm
   be sufficient?  Or do I just do "#rpm -U Active..."?
3) What else should I upgrade, and where do I get the 
   newer rpms to do so?

Thanks,

--Suresh
