Re: [CentOS] Re-running CPAN setup

Excellent!!! thanks it worked.

Now how do I make sure my centos 4.4 "sees" some modules that were added from CPAN?

RPM will never "see" your packages if you install them via CPAN. It is recommended you NOT install from CPAN if you would like to maintain the integrity of your CentOS system. RPMforge and Karan's Extras repositories already provide a lot of perl modules in RPM format. You can also use tools such as cpan2rpm and cpanflute to create RPMs for modules that don't already exist there.

See http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories for more details on those repos.
