[Koha] Update--Help with installation on fedora 8

[Ken Lomax]

Many Thanks

I have used several methods to install the perl modules.

Originally I was using a terminal and typing:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "abc::def"' where abc::def was the module.
This was as suggested in the koha vers 2 installers

This time I used
>cpan
which went to interactive mode, and then typing
install abc::def
This worked for most modules, with a couple requiring
force install abc::def

Following your email just now I used the fedora GUI package manager
Applications->Add/Remove Software
went to Search, and typed
perl-cgi
I selected 
perl-CGI-Simple-0.077-8 and perl-CGI-Session-4.20-2
and installed these

koha now works!!!!

Thanks everyone for the help.

Regards
Ken
