Hi Jason,

Although the Perl modules may already be installed, the interchange RPM you 
are trying to use requires the above Perl module RPMs to also be installed. 
These errors are coming from rpm not from interchange or Perl.

You could "pretend install" the Perl module RPMs using the rpm --justdb switch.

eg.

Put the above files into a temp folder and then:

rpm -Uvh perl-* --justdb

Doing this will update the RPM databases but not actually install or 
overwrite your Perl module files. Doing this pretend install would then 
satisfy the RPM dependencies of the interchange RPM and it should install 
using:

rpm -Uvh interchange-4.8.6-1.i386.rpm

I hope this helps

Mark
