With all due respect to the various people, their hard work and associated repos, where is the best place to do a yum install for these two packages below in regards to an internet facing production Centos 4.4 server
perl-IO-Zlib perl-Archive-Tar
I noticed dag and karan repos appear to have it and my experience and research tells me that using CPAN is not an option for possible problems at times (no disrespect intended)
my first recommendation would be rpmforge.net.
http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/perl-IO-Zlib/ http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/perl-Archive-Tar/
if for some reason that won't work for you, there's always cpan2rpm, which will save you some of the pain of dealing directly with CPAN (which i agree is a bad idea on a production server).
