[WBEL-users] I hate perl

needing module DBD::mysql for greylisting...

#perl -MCPAN -e shell
<mucho snippage>
make: *** [dbdimp.o] Error 1
  /usr/bin/make  -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

been here before...

and amavisd
# rpm -q amavisd-new
amavisd-new-2.2.0-3.1.el3.rf

now the perl fun
# service amavisd start
Starting Mail Virus Scanner (amavisd): ERROR: MISSING REQUIRED BASIC
MODULES:
  Time::HiRes
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 139.
                                                           [FAILED]

but of course perl-Time-HiRes is installed...
perl-Time-HiRes-1.38-3
and you can't delete it...(at least without collateral damage)
# rpm -e perl-Time-HiRes
error: Failed dependencies:
        perl(Time::HiRes) is needed by (installed)
spamassassin-2.64-2.1.el3.dag
        perl(Time::HiRes) is needed by (installed) amavisd-
new-2.2.0-3.1.el3.rf

In the past, I've been able to get through some perl problems by
changing /etc/sysconfig/i18n ...
LANG="C"

but that's not working for me

Anyone got some stupid perl tricks?
