There are valid reasons to try to stick with RPMs, even when dealing with
Perl mods... mainly to keep version sanity, given that you may encounter RPMs
that depend on RPMs of Perl mods.

I've had a fair bit of luck with:

http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/

Including building a nice RPM for mod_perl 2.0.2.
