Problem with with installation of mysql

[seshu]

Hi guys

I want to install mysql on my redhat 7.2 box.  The following is the 
result of my installation command.

rpm -Uvh MySQL*.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        /usr/bin/perl5 is needed by MySQL-3.23.30-1
        /usr/bin/perl5 is needed by MySQL-client-3.23.30-1

When I searched for perl modules installed on my system, the following 
is the result.

rpm -qa | grep perl
perl-5.6.0-17
perl-HTML-Tagset-3.03-3
perl-Parse-Yapp-1.04-3
perl-XML-Encoding-1.01-2
perl-libxml-enno-1.02-5
perl-DBI-1.18-1
perl-Digest-MD5-2.13-1
perl-HTML-Parser-3.25-2
perl-MIME-Base64-2.12-6
perl-Storable-0.6.11-6
perl-libwww-perl-5.53-3
perl-XML-Grove-0.46alpha-3
perl-libxml-perl-0.07-5
perl-XML-Dumper-0.4-5
mod_perl-1.24_01-3
perl-SGMLSpm-1.03ii-4
groff-perl-1.17.2-3
perl-DateManip-5.39-5
perl-libnet-1.0703-6
perl-URI-1.12-5
perl-XML-Parser-2.30-7
perl-XML-Twig-2.02-2
perl-DBD-Pg-1.01-1

I will be thankful if anybody explains why it is asking for perl5 when 
already perl 5.6.0 is there.

Thanks in Advance
Seshu

Did you get the MySQL*.RPM from your RH CD?

Try rebuilding your RPM database, if that doesn't work, try linking 
/usr/bin/perl5.6.0 to /usr/bin/perl5
ln -s /usr/bin/perl5.6.0 /usr/bin/perl5
