Installing MIME::Parser on CentOS 5

Had to install the Perl module on a mail server, and I wanted to use yum to install everything, so here it goes...

First, I made sure I don't have it already isntalled:

mail rpms# perl -e 'use MIME::Parser'
Can't locate MIME/Parser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi \
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi \

No luck using yum, and no luck Googling, so off to the DAG route we go!

wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-MIME-tools/perl-MIME-tools-5.420-2.el5.rf.noarch.rpm

No luck at all installing just the RPM package... No surprise here.

After that, another test at installing the MIME::Parser package... I'm pretty sure it will not work...

mail rpms# rpm --test -ivh perl-MIME-tools-5.420-2.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
warning: perl-MIME-tools-5.420-2.el5.rf.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6

It doesn't so, off to yum to see what else is out there...

Only one was needed, the others were already installed... But, still, no luck at all...

On the mean time, I'll get the BinHex thing going on, no problems here:

mail rpms# wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-Convert-BinHex/perl-Convert-BinHex-1.119-2.2.el5.rf.noarch.rpm

And, to wrap up the whole thing, the package I needed was 'perl-IO-stringy'... What can I say, I'm a shmuck.

mail rpms# rpm --test -ivh perl-IO-stringy-2.110-1.2.el5.rf.noarch.rpm perl-MIME-tools-5.420-2.el5.rf.noarch.rpm

After that, test it, and you are done:

mail rpms# perl -e 'use MIME::Parser'
mail rpms#

I got the prompt back without any message, so it is installed.
