Needed RPM packages for Red Hat Linux and compatible operating systems

In order to work with RHEL and CentOS, among other RPM distribution

systems, you can install various RPM packages to get the required software.

You can install Perl and a SQL in a base installation, then use CPAN to

install Bundle::Interchange, or you can install needed modules via RPM.

Many of those are not available in the base distribution, but

are available at EPEL or rpmforge, extended package distributions.
