RT 3.0 Beta 2 (use Perl)

We're currently using RT 1.0.1. Since we haven't gotten around to RT 2, I thought I'd build 3.0b2 on a Red Hat 8.0 box for test and evaluation.

Since this is potentially something we'll move into production, I didn't want to rely on 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' to build the CPAN modules needed by RT. Building/installing those modules with rpm will make the whole process more reproducible.

I ended up building 41 (forty-one!) perl-* rpms to satisfy RT's dependencies, and that doesn't cound the modules Red Hat supplies with the packages Red Hat ships with 8.0.

RT 3 seems to work pretty well, though our testing has so far been light, but the build process is definitely not for the feint of heart.

Suggestions on Installing RT 3.0 Beta 2 Dependencies

Heinlein,

For those like me who are interested in installing RT 3.0 Beta 2 release, yet don't know how to build the perl-* rpms to satisfy RT's dependencies for redhat 8.0 from scratch like me.

Could you post a suggestion for how built the rpms to satisfy the RT dependencies? I & others have had breakdowns when trying to use CPAN to install the perl dependencies for RT 3.0 Beta 2.

Respectfully,
