That's what I suspected.

That would be a good alternative but what are the names I need for the tarballs that
correspond to doing this: ??

[root at Beaker tmp]# sudo cpan Net::DNS
and
[root at Beaker tmp]# sudo cpan Time::HiRes

This might help answer the question:

[root at Beaker tmp]# ls -l ~/.cpan/sources/modules/
total 840
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 695142 Oct  5 03:48 02packages.details.txt.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 153022 Oct  5 03:48 03modlist.data.gz
[root at Beaker tmp]# ls -l ~/.cpan/build/
total 20

I got all these:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root  20557 Jun 25  2004 perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-1.noarch.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 104349 Jun  8  2005 perl-Digest-SHA-5.28-1.i386.rpm

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 557462 Aug  8  2004 spamassassin-2.64-2.1.fc1.dag.i386.rpm

But still no joy:

# rpm -ivh spamassassin-2.64-2.1.fc1.dag.i386.rpm perl-Time-HiRes-1.65-1.i386.rpm
perl-Net-DNS-0.48-1.i386.rpm perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-1.noarch.rpm

        perl(Win32::Registry) is needed by perl-Net-DNS-0.48-1
        perl(Digest::SHA1) is needed by perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-

Those last two I could not find. Why would I neet Win32::Registry anyway?

I tried to use already built rpms because I don't know where the tarballs are that
would satisfy the fill in table in the link you provide:

<http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/#build>

Thanks. Maybe I should do the --nodeps

I did this for the time being:

[root at Beaker tmp]# rpm -ivh --nodeps spamassassin-2.64-2.1.fc1.dag.i386.rpm
perl-Time-HiRes-1.65-1.i386.rpm perl-Net-DNS-0.48-1.i386.rpm

   4:perl-Net-DNS           ########################################### [ 80%]
   5:perl-Digest-HMAC       ########################################### [100%]

Now I'll just see if SpamAssassin works.
