I administer my Fedora machines by RPM packages, which works for most applications but can get to be a hassle with all the diverse modules of Perl and CPAN. I don't like to use CPAN's own installer, as it makes it much more difficult to reproduce identical machine setups, or integrate software installation with other system maintenance tools.
Another alternative to keeping all of the machines in sync is to create a CPAN bundle (http://cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_make_bundle). You could create a bundle of realted modules and then make an rpm of that
or you could just make a bundle of all the CPAN modules you want on those machines and skip the rpm step.
