Lately I have also arrived to the conclusion that if you are not
interested in bleeding edge Perl development then you should use only
the modules supplied by your OS or Perl vendor. For that having only
1000 modules is way too low.
A couple of years ago I reached the same conclusion. All of my Fedora
systems now only have CPAN modules that are installed as RPMs.
I am using a wide range of Linux distros as I am a consultant and
every client uses somethings else. I encounter missing modules on
daily bases so I have no choice but to use CPAN.pm.
I also have this problem. Not many days go by without me needing a CPAN
module that isn't pre-packaged into an RPM.
In those cases I often find that cpanspec works to whip up a quick RPM
that that I can use. I don't know how many of those automatically
generated RPMs would reach the standards required for inclusion in
Fedora, but I'm slowly (manually!) making them available at
http://rpm.mag-sol.com/
