Hi Ken,

Seriously, If I had access to a Redhat/Fedora box, I would help you  
out, but i dont :(

My advice is to set yourself up a working Koha3 on Debian first (or  
even an Ubuntu-server),
the CPAN dependanices happen pretty smoothly, and any problems you  
encounter will be well known (and resolved) by most of the Koha  
developers internationally (as they mostly use Debian/Ubuntu)

Then, once you have a working standard Koha, you can use it to help  
troubleshoot your issues on your Fedora box.
Start with a *known* working system, then start bending it.

Cheers, Mason.
