perl modules

I just installed some perl modules. but when I ran an rpm that needs these it says there not installed. Do I need to stop and re start a service or something?

In what format modules came in? RPM's or tarballs? If you installed tarballs and you are sure they are installed then when you install the RPM that requires this modules just use --nodeps flag in rpm command string
rpm -ihv --nodeps package-yada.yada.rpm

yes I installed tarballs, I'm installing Interchange and really want to make sure I set it up right. Is this the only way to do this?

rpm can only find files installed by rpm. if you know for a fact that the libraries are they, just use --nodeps like was said by neo777777777777777777777777777
