Sticking with rpm should be the preference when using rpm based systems. It is understood that in some cases it may not be possible. CPAN comes with its own risks. For example, anything installed via cpan won't show up in rpm, so other rpms won't know that it's there. CPAN may also attempt to update parts of perl already on your system, which can lead to instability or other unexpected bahavior. In short, CPAN should be a last resort. It should be used carefully and sparingly, and watched like a hawk for attempted funky behavior. -- This message has been double ROT13 encoded for security.
