Many packages require many other sub-modules and the relationships 
sometimes change.  Either CPAN or the RPM packages will have this 
consistent at any particular version, but you can install a newer CPAN 
part, then have one of the subcomponents it needs replaced by an older 
one that doesn't work in an RPM update - or something like that...  If 
you pin it down, please let the rest of us know.
