# From what I can see, neither RH 8.0 nor 9.0 ship with HTML::Template, Set::Scalar or Net::Z3950 rpm's. You can download tarballs from a CPAN mirror, say, http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/ . Specifically, the latest versions of those modules are:

http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-category/15_World_Wide_Web_HTML_HTTP_CGI/HTML/HTML-Template-2.6.tar.gz
http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-category/05_Networking_Devices_IPC/Net/Net-Z3950-0.37.tar.gz
http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-category/06_Data_Type_Utilities/Set/Set-Scalar-1.18.tar.gz

I recently installed koha 2.0.0pre3 on RH 9.0, and had to download those modules. To install a CPAN Perl module, the usual procedure (after decompressing-extracting the tarball) is:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Read the READMEs though. You'll see, among other things, that in order to install the NET::Z3950 module you must have the yaz library installed first.

Good luck.
