Hello Eugene,

Thank you very much for your help here. I downloaded the file above, 
built a binary .rpm file and it installed OK.

I had already got the XML::Parser perl module to fix that dependency

I used the following command as root: perl -MCPAN -e shell, then at the 
cpan shell prompt, install XML::Parser

I have used the above to install all my perl modules. Very easy.

Yes, they are already installed.

It has helped immensely and I am very grateful for your help.

Thank you.  All the best for the coming year.
