[LON-CAPA-dev] RH7.2 perl versus apache rpm conflict

[Scott Harrison]

Dear All:

For LON-CAPA users running RedHat version 7.2, 
I would recommend that you do NOT upgrade to perl 5.6.1
anytime soon.  The apache rpm only believes in 5.6.0.

For more information, visit:

The alternative is compiling apache from source.

THIS IS DISAPPOINTING.

My jaw continues to drop through the floor.
