Your reference to cpan2rpm makes me think that you might be installing
modules on a Red Hat(ish) system. In which case I'd like to strongly
recommend that you don't mix CPAN-installed modules and RPM-installed
modules in the same Perl installation. Bad Things will ensue.

See my "Perl in RPM-Land" talk[1] for more details. You might also be
interested in my CPAN modules yum repository[2]. I take requests :-)

Cheers,
