# yum install perl-XML-Parser : Provides version 2.36 on RHEL6 / CentOS6.

? But why not do : # yum install perl-XML-RSS

I.e. "perl-XML-RSS" is in the main repositoty ( EL 6 ).
No need to use a third party package. And not recommended.

Which OS is it about ?
http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...Ask_a_Question
http://linuxsilo.net/docs/smart-questions_en.html
OS name and version, please. Like CentOS 6.3 - 64bits, Fedora 18, etc. etc.

This is a problem

For RHEL you must buy the required support contract

-- server licenses
https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/server/

-- single desktop install license
https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/desktop/

there is no way around NOT buying the required license , so to use RHEL you need it


or
install one of the FREE rebuilds like
Centos
the older CentOS 5.9
or the current
CentOS 6.4

install 6.4 unless you MUST 100% MUST use the older 5 series for legacy support
