Ok, do you have RPM package "gd-devel"?

Once you do, download the latest Perl package from CPAN:

               wget http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/GD/GD-2.35.tar.gz

Then try compiling. Compiling works on my machine but the test 
fails...hmmm......... except if I exclude GIF support.
Aha. Maybe it wasn't included in RH because of the patent problem?
