--- Comment #2 from M. Tompsett <mtompset at hotmail.com> ---
I started tinkering with CentOS again. GAH! apt-file is a big plus for
debian-based systems. Though, I did discover repoquery -q -l.

CentOS 5.x does not come with Perl 5.10 by default. CentOS 6.x does, as far as
I know. So in terms of even attempting Koha installs on CentOS, 6.x is the only
real option for 3.6 and up (which are the currently active Koha versions).

I'm putting some of my notes here in hopes of extending this script across to
the RPM-based world. However, at this point, it is looking slim (at least with
CentOS):

Deb-based OS' track perl development better the RPM-based ones, it would seem.

What bother's me most is that there are manual fixing stages to these
instructions. I am hoping to figure out a way that doesn't need that. But I
make no guarantees.

I also note that the EPEL repository has been known to break things. That's
part of the reason why there is the need to fix things. Whereas, RPMForge "is
considered by many in the community to be stable and safe."
