I'm trying to install the Perl Sys:Syslog module and it during the perl Makefile.PL it complains, and suggests that I run h2ph. What do I do?
Well basically Red Hat 5.x Perl is broken and certain libraries aren't properly created. Generally, one creates the libraries with the h2ph command. But there is an easier way. Grab: ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/software/admin/mon/mon-0.37j-1.i386.rpm and then install it with: rpm -ivh mon-0.37j-1.i386.rpm --nodeps This rpm has the added feature of fixing the libraries that h2ph was supposed to create on Red Hat. Afterwords, if you wish you can remove the rpm from your system with: rpm -e mon-0.37j The newly created libraries (which you want) will be left on the system.
