perl modules failed dependencies
 

i'm trying to get spamassassin setup but I keep running into this

[root@mail root]# rpm -Uvh perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm spamassassin-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm spamassassin-tools-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:
perl(DBI) is needed by perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.1-1
perl(Date::Manip) is needed by spamassassin-tools-3.0.1-1
perl(Parse::Syslog) is needed by spamassassin-tools-3.0.1-1
perl(Statistics::Distributions) is needed by spamassassin-tools-3.0.1-1

I already have the modules DBI, Date::Manip, Parse::Syslog, and Statistics::Distributions installed. Is there something I need to do? like reload perl module database or something?

have you upgraded perl recently? if so you may find that those modules are sitting in the tree for the old version of perl, so can't be seen.

nope I dont remember that I did.. It's current version is 5.8.0. I usually avoid touching perl install/upgrades since I have the worst luck w/ it.

bump, any help on this? I usually intall perl moduels using cpan.. but it seems like rpm can not detect the installed modules

use CPAN. It's a much easier way to work with installing and updating perl modules


use:

perl -MCPAN -e -shell

I did.. but when i'm installing stuff using rpm it doesnt recognize it
