Just for the record, using RPMs is the preferred method (instead of
using CPAN), for several reasons that I don't think I need to expound.
RPMs will be used in the 'official' version, so doing so now would be
prudent.

Oh, actually, looks like I may have interpreted your question backward.
I suppose it would have been better to find the YUM packages for all the
perl modules instead of using CPAN, but again, each of those sections
was taken from code that essentially already did the heavy lifting, I
simply adapted them to fit into the larger picture, and once it worked,
I left it alone. That flow chart that starts "Does it work?" and later
asks "Did you f*** with it?" comes to mind . . . :D

Eric,
Fair question. The short answer is that this script evolved as I
tackled each install issue in turn, and being partly pieced from other
install procedures and partly from my own code, what worked was simply
left alone and kept intact. I believe that particular code that pulls
those perl modules using YUM was part of one of the original CentOS 5
install scripts where I borrowed part of the code from.

List,
This question appears to come up often enough that a turnkey CentOS
6.x installer script is probably worth sharing in its entirety. It is
available for now via a folder on my company's Box account in both
7zip and gzipped tar formats with accompanying MD5 and SHA1 hashes (if
someone has a more appropriate hosting location, let me know):
https://www.box.com/shared/de954e52e0816ffc2e93
This is not officially supported for anyone but myself, but as it can
make CentOS 6.x installs trivial---I and several colleagues have used
it without issue---I will try to respond to any queries about it that
are posted here to this list.
If you plan to use this, read the README thoroughly, and as with any
unsupported script or software, it is strongly recommended that you
browse through the script to be sure you understand it before using it.

That looks good, Ron. May I ask one question? Why don't you install the
perl modules using YUM instead of CPAN as your script installs the
rpmforge repo which maintains these modules?
