   Alternative Approaches
   
   ------------------------------------------------------------------
   Regarding: Perl modules
   As noted above, it is possible to install then redirect
   the files with LON-CAPA-systemperl.  Another approach
   is to use loncom/build/system_dependencies/perltest.pl
   combined with the 30+ perl specific rpms that RedHat is
   now releasing with version 7.*.
   
   * need to fix Cookie.pm as noted above
   
   ncftpget ftp://mirror.pa.msu.edu/linux/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/*perl*.rpm
   And do comparisons with output from
   perl CVS:loncom/build/system_dependencies/perltest.pl
   
   Here is what is found from this approach:
   
   Already installed on RedHat 7.2 by default:
   groff-perl-1.17.2-3.i386.rpm
   mod_perl-1.24_01-3.i386.rpm
   perl-DateManip-5.39-5.noarch.rpm
   perl-Digest-MD5-2.13-1.i386.rpm
   perl-File-MMagic-1.06-2.i386.rpm
   perl-HTML-Parser-3.25-2.i386.rpm
   perl-HTML-Tagset-3.03-3.i386.rpm
   perl-MIME-Base64-2.12-6.i386.rpm
   perl-NKF-1.71-2.i386.rpm
   perl-Parse-Yapp-1.04-3.noarch.rpm
   perl-SGMLSpm-1.03ii-4.noarch.rpm

   perl-libxml-enno-1.02-5.noarch.rpm
   perl-libxml-perl-0.07-5.noarch.rpm
   
   New installations needed:
   rpm -Uvh mysql-3.23.41-1.i386.rpm 
   rpm -Uvh perl-DBD-MySQL-1.2216-4.i386.rpm

   ------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   Regarding MySQL.
   Require these RPMs:
   mysql-3.23.41-1 (or standard RedHat 7.* version)
   mysql-server-3.23.41 (or standard RedHat 7.* version)
   
   *********************************************** Generating the 'www' mysql user
   Enter the mysql shell---
   mysql -u root -p mysql
   OR
   mysql -u root mysql     (depending on whether the mysql root password is set)
   
   Run these commands---
   CREATE DATABASE loncapa;
   
   INSERT INTO user (Host, User, Password)
   VALUES ('localhost','www',password('SOMEPASSWORD'));
   
   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON loncapa.* TO www@localhost;
   
   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   
   ************************************* SECURITY: Setting the mysql root password
   shell> mysql -u root mysql
   mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('new_password');
   
   ************************************ SECURITY: only allow access from localhost
   mysql> delete from user where host<>'localhost'
   
   ------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   Also, be sure to:
   /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 httpd on
   /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 mysqld on
