in reply to Error While installing perl

Are you running Fedora 15 as your operating system?

If not, why do you install this RPM package? Did you just randomly get an RPM off the Web?

If yes, be advised that official lifetime for this release expired 4 months ago. It will become increasingly more difficult to find people who provide free support. Instead upgrade to the current stable version, Fedora 17. perl-Sys-Statistics-Linux has been packaged there properly.

    I am running a perl script which is looking for perl-Sys-Statistics module. I tried perl-Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.59-4 but it showed dependency over perl 5.12.3. I am running RHEL 5.8. It has currently perl 5.8.8. I have configured another perl 5.12.3 from cpan over it with a thought that it might not show perl-sys-statistics error but still its saying same.
