I'm happy with using CPAN, but one should avoid mixing rpms and CPAN.

Just be careful that whatever you're installing with cpan doesn't try to replace/update the existing perl installation. It'll make updating the system VERY unhappy. Also, "Best Practice" for rpm based systems dictates that system-wide programs should be installed via rpm.
