It is safe to use Rawhide's Perl, but you will need to edit the spec file (search it for "rawhide"). If you don't, you will get a perl that is not binary compatible with your installed modules. For an equally unsupported approach, though probably maintaining binary compatibility, you can get RPMs from: http://people.redhat.com/cturner/perl/ They should work, but there are no guarantees. If by editing the SPEC you mean changing the %define build_8x 1 to 0 then I did that already. If not then please advise what changes I need to make. Thank you. Oh and also, I don't use the binary rpm perl modules. I tend to use CPAN for obtaining perl modules. And I'll probably rebuild things like ImageMagick (which has a perl interface) etc from SRPMs also. |
