Use one or the other, not both. If you install modules using rpm, you may well find in some circumstances CPAN louses up and either thinks something is installed when it isn't, or can't see something that is installed. If you install stuff using CPAN then don't use rpm for perl packages. Personally *nothing* goes on my boxes unless its been packaged as rpms - I then have proper control of the package set and all the needed dependancy handling.
