[LON-CAPA-admin] LONCAPA-prerequisites 1-20: perl-Tree dependency

[loncapa_admin]

Hi,

Just did a yum upgrade on my CentOS 5 x86_64 library server, and although the perl-Tree dependencies seem to be satisfied, I'm getting an error about the version of perl-XML-LibXML.

Sure enough, the standard CentOS repos  only have perl-XML-LibXML version 1.58 available.  

Should I be pointing yum to another repo?
