Personally, I find mixing CPAN installs and installs from rpm to be very problematic. The issue is that sometimes CPAN will decide to upgrade something you have installed via rpm (like say, perl itself) and mess up all other packages installed from rpm. Also, on the other side, rpm packaged modules may upgrade something you installed from CPAN and cause breakage there. So, my suggestion would be to stick with one and only one package management system. In my case rpm/yum. :) kevin
