about the problems you can find building perl modules for CentOS releases (new or old).
I agree with John R. Pierce: cpan is very very bad tool ( in fact, I hate it) to build perl modules for CentOS systems, breaks all other perl modules. I need to use several perl modules in several servers in my dept. and after some tests, I migrate to FreeBSD due to easy install perl modules with poudriere suite.
But, anyone knows if it is possible to build a confident devel environment under CentOS with some tool to build rpm's perl modules without breaking anything in CentOS systems??
Maybe, it is a good idea to create a CentOS Perl SIG :))
Pretty much everyone needs EPEL for something - so it is not enough to not break anything in CentOS base, but you also need to not break/conflict with/replace anything in EPEL. So really, the best approach would just be to add any missing modules to EPEL.
