If your machine has never been subscribed, or the subscription is expired, you will not be able to use any of the repositories provided by RHEL. Red Hat states, in relevant part: If you choose to let all your subscriptions … Read more

From http://jfearn.fedorapeople.org/en-US/RPM/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch-advanced-packaging.html: Scripting languages such as Perl and Tcl allow for add-on modules. Your package may require some of these add-on modules. RPM uses a special syntax with parenthesis to indicate script module dependencies. For example: Requires: perl(Carp) >= 3.2 This indicates a requirement for the … Read more
