> I reinstalled Perl 5.8.3 and tried it again. Still getting the same errors - looks like it is trying to use the older perl??, is there a way to tell it to use 5.8.3?  It is going to the old perl path, how can I point it to the newer perl?  Thank you for your help.

You are missing the Config::General module and may need to install it from
CPAN yourself or search for a repository which provides it in RPM format.
E.g. http://fedora.us provides it for Fedora Core 1 and 2, but not built
it for Red Hat Linux. You could request a rebuild, though, or rebuild the
src.rpm yourself.
