You would probably want to use cpan2rpm.
Looks like you can get it for CentOS5 at:

What's the expected way to package a Perl module? I want to build RPM's for
several Perl modules and in the past on Fedora I'd use cpanflute2. What do
I use on CentOS5? Is there a package to install to provide the necessary
utility?
I want to repackage the dependencies for MIMEDefang:
perl(MIME::Parser) is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386
perl(MIME::Tools) >= 5.410 is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386
perl(MIME::Words) is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386
perl-IO-stringy is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386
perl-MIME-tools is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386
perl-MailTools is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386
I am currently building a Live CD for CentOS 5. I am using the tools
from the livecd-tools project [1].
Here is my setup:
- A workstation with CentOS 5 i386
- dosfstools 2.11-8 [2]
- livecd-tools 009-3 [2]
- pykickstart 1.0-1 [2]
- syslinux 3.36-2 [2]
To create a live CD, you need a kickstart configuration file[3].
You also need to increase the maximum number of open files:
# ulimit -n 65535
Then, you can start the creation process (~30 minutes):
# livecd-creator --config=centos-livecd-desktop.ks
For more information regarding livecd-creator, you can read the Fedora
How-to:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/LiveCDHowTo
I am still trying to find the optimal combination of software for the
live CD. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,
We have added an updated yum-utils to the CentOS testing repository for
CentOS 5. This package now provides the yum-repolist plugin/subpackage,
which implements comparable functionality to the same command in yum
3.2. Additionally, it also shows the priority or protection status of a
repository when the yum-priorities or yum-protectbase plugin are
installed respectively. A sample run:
---
$ yum repolist
Loading "repolist" plugin
Loading "priorities" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
repo id repo name status priority
======= ========= ====== ========
base CentOS-5 - Base enabled 1
updates CentOS-5 - Updates enabled 1
extras CentOS-5 - Extras enabled 1
rpmforge Red Hat Enterprise 5 - RPMforge.net enabled 99
danieldk Daniel's testing packages enabled 99
c5-media CentOS-5 - Media disabled 99
contrib CentOS-5 - Contrib disabled 99
centosplus CentOS-5 - Plus disabled 99
addons CentOS-5 - Addons enabled 99
---
Please test this plugin, and provide feedback. We are interested whether
it works well with protectbase, priorities, or none of both.
Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the
CentOS Wiki at:

It sounds really interesting...
I've used VMware Server for a while, but Xen is better for my current goals.

Hi all,
According to http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup I launch my
request about XEN SIG
.
I think it would be interesting because XEN related topics in mail-list
are usual at present day (especially since CentOS 5 with XEN support was
released out). All of us are aware about the future of SO is the
virtualization and it means XEN projecte will be more important.
I work as a junior sysadmin in little reseller hosting company in
Barcelona (Spain). We're planning to build our own datacenter (it will
be little, of course) and the services will be based on CentOS+XEN. So I
think I can contribute and also approach about a lot of questions.
¿What do you think about?

I use up2date in preference to yum simply because it automates the
process of getting matching source.
