I've been running RT just fine on a CentOS box. Note that I've built all
modules that are required as packages, and noted the breakage of various core
modules as shipped by RH from the CentOS mailing list, so I build packages for
those too parented in the site_perl tree. IMO, the need for a source
built/local build of Perl is NEVER a good solution to hand to users. Running a
ticketing tool shouldn't require a user to build a local copy of a core
distribution component.
