To the contrary, you can get in quite a lot of trouble mixing CPAN and RPM naively. Checkout cpan2rpm at http://www.arix.com/perl/cpan2rpm/ and RPMForge at http://rpmforge.net/ instead. Either is MUCH safer than directly mixing CPAN with the normal Yum managed Perl installation. -- Benjamin Franz I don't think it's a good idea to follow the catalog's suggestion to force the "Double Helix" on your biologist friends, or the "Wavelength" on your physicist friends. They have access to virulent pathogens and liquid nitrogen, and I just know it will end in tears before bedtime. - Verzoeking, LiveJournal Entry, 22 Nov 2005
