I discovered that I have Perl 5.6.0 and it needs 5.6.1
Is there any way to force it to install under 5.6.0?

How bout getting an RPM for 5.6.0 instead of 5.6.1?

The only 5.6.0 RPM is for Apache 1.3.19 (and its an mod_perl 1.25 rpm:P) and i use Apache 1.3.23

How about the --nodeps switch?

Try rebuilding from src.rpm. Find the rpm that ends in src.rpm, not ix86.rpm, and do an rpm --rebuild on that src.rpm to build an ix86.rpm file.

But, you might find it would be much easier to compile mod_perl from source.

YAY! I tried --nodeps and it worked!

DAMN:(

Now when I start Apache I get:

[FAILED]
httpd-perl: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory
:bawling:

Is it possible to upgrade perl from an RPM?

yes on mandrake linux you can update perl and mod_perl from RPM
