I want to give DVD::RIP 0.97.10 a try. I enabled rpmforge and kbs repos, but there's only 0.52.2 available, which has an annoying bug in it.
Let me give this a completely different shot: does fixing the bug take substantial changes, or is it fairly simple to fix? If so, I guess it is best to rebuild 0.52.2 with the source RPM, adding the patch. This will avoid all the Perl module upgrade havoc.
As for upgrading/installing via CPAN: I wouldn't do it. I have seen it break things earlier, and it makes system/package administration a lot more difficult.
