Hi again. ... >>> 2. Package it ... I totally agree with Russ on the technical discussion. CPAN is VERY limited in 'package management' and just a simple installer. It does not make sense to use it on a system that provides very good package management infrastructure. Jim blogged some advices about source installs recently: http://www.bofh-hunter.com/2009/01/02/evils-of-source/ (which may be merged with the wiki) From: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/SourceInstalls 'If you need perl modules, DO NOT use CPAN, as that will most likely break your perl installation. Please try to package the perl module with either cpan2rpm or use the spec template for perl modules from fedora-rpmdevtools. Same goes for python.' Best Regards Marcus
