RPM Install - How to fix Failed Discrepancies?

[Fedora 7] I have an RPM that I am trying to install and it keeps coming back with:
Quote:
perl(HTML::Entities) is needed by my-super-duper.rpm
I know I could kill the bird by throwing a "yum install *perl*" at it, but this seems like hurling a skyscraper at an ant...

any better suggestions?

Aparently, the application won't run without HTML::Entities, so later or now you will have to install it. If you want to supress this error message, use "--nodeps" flag, and then install HTML::Entities.. The other way for installing such perl packages is
Code:
perl -MCPAN -e install Packet::Name

...Ops. I'm reading the post again, it seems that you're doing the installation via "yum", so --nodeps won't be available. It's option to "rpm" command. If I got it correctly, first install the perl module, and then "yum"

I actually did use your first suggestion... installed the Perl module, but the dependency failure still occurred. Thats when I ran the --nodeps flag, and it installed, and works perfectly.

Thanks.
