scilinux6 (rhel6) perl pathing question

Working on SL6.

[CODE]
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux release 6.0 (Carbon)
$ uname -an
Linux bigbox.em.local 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 12 17:14:50 CDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

what's the proper way to resolve the following:

CODE
$ perl Build.PL

Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at Build.PL line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 4.

I have discovered the following:

CODE

$ rpm -qa|grep Build
perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.27-119.el6.x86_64
perl-Module-Build-0.3607-1.el5.rf.noarch

so it looks like it's there.

CODE

$ sudo updatedb
$ locate Build.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Module/Build.pm

Which doesn't look like it's in the @INC. I could either do a symlink, or just put 5.8.8 in the $INC, but then that would screw up any future updating, not to mention whatever else it'll break.

Thanks in advance!

Answer

This Module::Build package is from 'el5' meaning Scientific Linux version 5.0, it belongs to an older version of Scientific Linux and Perl: 5.8.x whereas SL6 has Perl 5.10.x.

Please check if you can install a recent version from the repositories:

yum install 'perl(Module::Build)'

if that does not work you might need to check into the repository configuration on your system.
After this you'll have the version installed, in your path, as you'd expect.
