I just built it with cpan2rpm. It took less than 2 minutes. I can send you an rpm off list if that will help you. --
That would be nice, or learning how to do it.
Question(s)
how does cpan2rpm know that I am using centos 4 and associated libraries and even more importantly, which perl modules I am using or what perl modules that need to be used in the latest incarnation?
cpan2rpm basically seems to be a wrapper that pulls the source from cpan, builds a simple spec file, and tries to do an rpmbuild on the source. If you were good with rpm, you could do it all yourself.
