[zubair]

hi to all

i m following the scratch installation guide and i m doing installation in fedora linux........mysql,php inshort whole installation is on the single machine......i have installed perl-5.8.6 from FC4 cd .....but when i chek for

CPAN modules(Time::HiRes, DBI, DBD::mysql, Net::Telnet, Net::Server etc)

modules....i found that they r not installed.......i have tried yum and also mtop but could no able to rectify it ....

so.....how i can install Perl5 with several CPAN modules(Time::HiRes, DBI, DBD::mysql, Net::Telnet, Net::Server etc)....or can VICIDIAL work without these module...

secondly ....as i m doing installation on a single machine do i need to install ntp...........

You can install any perl module from cpan as you wish except asterisk-perl ( cpan installs asterisk-perl0.9 but vicidial requires 0.8 to work ) .

please follow the install from scratch.

perl -MCPAN -e shell

install MD5
install Digest::MD5
install Digest::SHA1
...

those are just a snippet on how to install the perl modules on any linux distribution.

or just follow the scratch_install document.

It is stated that you have to

perl -MCPAN -e shell

hi
i finally decided to go to search dot cpan dot org...and manually download all modules ....any suggestion plz

when you type perl -MCPAN -e shell ( or just cpan ) do you atleast get to cpan command line like
cpan[5]>

Or you get that message before only ?
If you can get to cpan prompt then type "o conf init" and it will ask you all questiosn and mirrorlist .
