I made the mistake of trying to use cpan when I was young. I am now older and wiser and have read things like: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/SourceInstalls?highlight=(cpan)
I attempted this once while building a new machine. It was amazing how fast I got bogged down in dependencies. Almost none of the modules that I needed were available from the repos and as soon as I packaged up one and tried to install it, I found I needed 3 more for dependencies (which also weren't available).
I finally gave up trying to install Perl modules via Yum/rpm. I now use CPAN to install Perl packages and Yum for everything else. I find this works well for me and saves an incredible amount of time.
If someone would come up with a way to automate the dependency resolution so that I could grab and package everything at once, then I would do it, but I just don't have time to go through the download, package, install, find dependencies, download, package, install, ... process. Apparently, this is on the wishlist for cpan2rpm, but is not implemented yet.

dag has a script that does just this.

Here we go: http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/tools/dar/dar-perl.py
I am sure Dag will appreciate feedback and info on the script.

if i may ask, why do you need to install this module? as was noted above, it's already part of perl. do you know for certain that you need a newer version of File::Find than is already installed?

cpan[2]> install File::Find Running install for module 'File::Find' The most recent version "1.12" of the module "File::Find" is part of the perl-5.10.0 distribution. To install that, you need to run force install File::Find --or-- install R/RG/RGARCIA/perl-5.10.0.tar.gz Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Failed during this command: RGARCIA/perl-5.10.0.tar.gz : make NO isa perl

This still shows you trying to install a module that already exists. You were asked if you know for sure that you need a newer version of File::Find and you answered with a failed attempt to install it. If you want help, you will have to answer questions asked by those trying to help you.
