I'm leaning pretty heavily in this directly actually, just given how little progress I'm making with CPAN itself. Next step I guess is to see if all my packages are available in RPMs. The only downside I see of this approach is that it becomes far more complex in a non-homogenous environment. We're almost all on Centos 5 at this point, but we do still have a few dribs and drabs of other things out there. But still I think it will be managable. -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"
