a question about finding a couple of packages

[Scott Berry]

Hello there,

I am looking for a couple of packages for edns.  These are the packages I need are they installed by default if not what are the actual names of the packages?  I am unsure which ones to get.

use MIME::Base64;
use IO::Socket;

Here's a nice way you can find perl packages based on the module name
(the name used in the 'use' statement):

yum whatprovides 'perl(IO::Socket)'

Both of these modules happen to be in the main perl package, which is
installed by default.

Hey Todd,

Thanks very much for your insightful info.  I was wondering what "yum 
whatprovides" does.  Thanks again.

Also one more question.  Where is the standard location for perl scripts 
located?

Basically, under /usr/lib/perl5.  Within that there are numerous
directories for organizing modules.

To see the complete list of paths that perl searches for installed
modules in, run this:

perl -e 'foreach (sort @INC) { print "$_\n" }'
