Perl-Net-SCP On CentOS 7

As part of building my new mail server, I’m installing the RPMS to match my old server.

However, I can’t find a perl-Net-SCP RPM for this version. Can someone point me to where I can get it, preferrably a repo that I can use that has it.

I have found perl-Net-SCP-0.08-1.el6.rf.noarch.rpm. As a last resort I could localinstall that. Would it have any nasty side effects?

  • What are you using to build you mail server? Ever considered giving iRedMail a try? Installs everything you need to run a Linux based mail server completed with webmail and groupmail (using SOGo).

  • I’ve just tried this and I got the following which seems to indicate a bigger problem. Also Googling seems to indicate lots of changes since F9 days.

    Can anyone suggest the best way to maintain compatibility with the biggish number of Perl scripts I have that use Net::SSH and Net::SCP

  • I have a reasonably complex EXIM / PostgreSQL / Dovecot configuration with lots of bespoke configs. It provides features such as

    * interacts with other geographically distributed mail servers to distribute emails internally (usual stuff)
    * photocopier scan-to-email reception -> OCR and database injection,
    * email to fax/fax to email,
    * distribution / announce lists
    * Device Notification -> Helpdesk injection
    * off-site message backup

    To be able to complete this project in a timely manor I’m trying to reduce any changes to a minimum, although having looked at the exim.conf and dovecot.conf there has been quite a lot of changes.

  • Hi All,

    My new server is now built and I’m rebuilding the various services. Falling at the first hurdle, my xinetd.conf service requrires perl-Net-SCP which doesn’t appear to be available on C7.

    I could install CPAN and install it that way, but obviously I’d rather try to keep to RPM’s if I can. I’ve tried Google, but not really come up with a solution I’m happy with.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve found a Fedora 29 RPM on RPMfind. Would that be close enough?

  • HI Gianluca

    Thanks for this. I had already looked at the site you gave and found the RPM.
    Much appreciated.
