I need to install a Perl module

[morfargekko]

Hi all I need to install the LWP perl module (libwww-perl) but I get errors.
Can't this be done or am I doing it wrong?

 

[tanfwc]

yum install -y perl-libwww

You are installing for ConfigServer Firewall right?

 

[morfargekko]

Thank's tanfwc , I will try that. Yes I am trying to install CSF.

Hi didn't help!

Check your /etc/yum.conf file and make sure you don't have "perl*" in exclude list.

 

[morfargekko]

Hello, sorry but that didn't work either. I had "perl*" in /etc/yum.conf so I temporary removed it and tryed to install the Perl module with no luck. Still the same result.

 

[tanfwc]

What's is your distro?

 

[morfargekko]

Hi , sorry I should have posted that in my question.
I am running CentOS 5.

 

[chatwizrd]

type:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

type:

install LWP

 

[morfargekko]

Thank's chatwizrd now it installed as it should but CSF has some issues so I think I will look for another firewall. CSF is a nice firewall though, I have been running it on cPanel for a long time now on my other servers so it would have been nice to have it running on a DA box aswell.

CSF is not designed for DA boxes so why would you have tried installing it in the first place? While the concept works the front end doesnt.

 

[morfargekko]

Hi,
I know that the CSF "front end" doesn't work in DA but who needs the front end? There is a general instalation script for CSF.

And for those who wish for a GUI... there is a webmin module in the package. I recently decided to switch to CSF after reading up, so far it's been great... yet still to soon to praise. This is running under CentOS 4.5.

Never mind, finished fine and have csf installed, all seems to be working.........

===========================================

tied the 1st example and csf still says need LWP, so try this example , at this point now, is normal to just say yes to question

For red hat based systems

yum -y install perl-libwww-perl.noarch

After looking around i found this:

yum install perl-libwww-perl

That worked on my Centos 5
