Want to make those pesky CPAN modules into nice, happy rpms that just install like other packages?? cpan2rpm is a very nifty package (rpm) that lets you download CPAN source, issue one command, and your module is packaged and ready to install (presuming all of the dependencies are there.) I must have made 20 of these so far. No muss, no need to fuss with installing to chrootable directories, or writing spec files and make files.
Download, it, try it, and then go up a level to perl.arix.com and give the guy who wrote it some money. I did.
