Re: [CentOS-devel] Proper way to package Perl modules

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

You would probably want to use cpan2rpm.

Looks like you can get it for CentOS5 at:
