There's no difference between a RPM and CPAN version except for how you administrate things. I'd say that if you generally use RPM, then use RPM. If you generally do things via CPAN, use CPAN. Don't mix the two if you can help it.

I would remove all related files from the CPAN install, then install the RPM version. You don't want to have different versions installed at the same time since it could lead to problems down the road. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Oh mother, I've got a present for you.
