To the contrary, you can get in quite a lot of trouble mixing CPAN and
RPM naively. Checkout cpan2rpm at http://www.arix.com/perl/cpan2rpm/ and
RPMForge at http://rpmforge.net/ instead.
Either is MUCH safer than directly mixing CPAN with the normal Yum managed
Perl installation.

I don't think it's a good idea to follow the catalog's suggestion to force
the "Double Helix" on your biologist friends, or the "Wavelength" on your
physicist friends. They have access to virulent pathogens and liquid
nitrogen, and I just know it will end in tears before bedtime.
