Looks like it is in rpmforge (see

Using CPAN isn't quite as good of an idea as it seems - it tends to a)
install newer versions of perl and b) the packaging system has no idea
about files installed via CPAN.
The rpmforge repository (see above) has packaged quite a few perl
modules, so I'd suggest to use that:
[angenenr@shutdown ~]$yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=rpmforge list "perl*"|wc -l

Wow, thank you very much Ralph!
I did a "yum provides" and installed perl-version. Once I did that, the script worked beautifully.
I notice that a lot of my questions stem from a misunderstanding of how RPMs work, as well as how YUM uses RPMs. Can anyone provide me some useful links? I google for info, but just seem to get little bits of knowledge but not enough to put it all together coherently.
