Hi, perl Build.PL install_base=/home/sm9ac/Perl/v1 => [sm9ac@sec001d Module-Build-0.4224]$ perl Build.PL install_base=/home/sm9ac/Perl/v1 *** BOOTSTRAPPING Perl::OSType *** *** BOOTSTRAPPING version *** *** BOOTSTRAPPING Module::Metadata *** Can't locate ExtUtils/Manifest.pm in @INC (@INC contains: t/lib t/bundled lib /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at lib/Module/Build/Base.pm line 1975. These additional prerequisites must be installed: requires: ! Perl::OSType (we need version 1.00) ! version (we need version 0.87) ! Module::Metadata (we need version 1.000002) -) Want to install DBI.pm .. MakeMaker.PL (=ExtUtils::MakeMaker) required -) Want to install ExtUtils::MakeMaker ... "make test" requires Test::Harness -) Want to install Test::Harness ... =ExtUtils::MakeMaker required .. funny (a requires b and vice versa - reported it) -) Tried to build Test::Harness with Module::Build .. -) Want to install Module-Build (see above) .. ExtUtils::Manifest required -) Want to install ExtUtils::Manifest .. =ExtUtils::MakeMaker required again ... Sorry - but I'm going round in circles .. So can someone explain how to install a module from cpan without circle dependencies? I'm using RH 7.3 with Perl 5.16.3.

By default Red Hat doesn't install all parts that usually ship with perl; what you're observing is a direct consequence of that unfortunate decision. If you install the perl-core package your problems should go away. Leon
