Actually, they are required by the RedHat's perl rpm. This was one of the
recent problems that check-rpms could not resolve the dependencies with the
perl upgrade, because RedHat introduced new dependencies with an upgrade.
I naively had assumed that at least RedHat's upgrade procedure would handle
dependencies correctly. Not correct. Stupid me.

The upgrade upgraded perl (because I had it before) but it did not install
perl-CGI, perl-DB_File, perl-CPAN, perl-NDBM_File (because they did not exist
under 6.2). Sigh. After installing them by hand you can run the following
little experiment:

# rpm -e --test perl-CGI    
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
	perl-CGI is needed by perl-5.6.1-26.72.3
# rpm -e --test perl-DB_File
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
	perl-DB_File is needed by perl-5.6.1-26.72.3
# rpm -e --test perl-CPAN   
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
	perl-CPAN is needed by perl-5.6.1-26.72.3
# rpm -e --test perl-NDBM_File
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
	perl-NDBM_File is needed by perl-5.6.1-26.72.3

I'll do that tomorrow. For now I append my story about unsuccessful
attempts to get mysql going...

1) I did copy capa.pm and capa.so over:

cp /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/capa.pm /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
cp /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/capa.so /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1

... and this does have the effect that httpd now starts (Yes!).

2) I also noticed that when you install mysql-server that it creates
/etc/rc3.d/K12mysqld, thus mysqld is not started at boot time.
I moved it, i.e.,

mv /etc/rc3.d/K12mysqld /etc/rc3.d/S12mysqld

however with limited success: from /var/log/mysqld.log:

=========================================================================
020821 18:04:49  mysqld started
Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set.
If you do not want to use transactional InnoDB tables, add a line
skip-innodb
to the [mysqld] section of init parameters in your my.cnf
or my.ini. If you want to use InnoDB tables, add for example,
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:30M
But to get good performance you should adjust for your hardware
the InnoDB startup options listed in section 2 at
http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html

Strangely enough, I do have a mysgld daemon running:

# ps -efww | grep mysql
