Installing modules manually is quite easy. I rarely fool with RPMs (except for the popular stuff), and *never* mess with CPAN.pm. Simply download the module tarball you need (http://search.cpan.org), uncompress it, and compile it. Here's an example: wget http://search.cpan.org/path/to/Jasons-Example.tar.gz tar zxvf Jasons-Example.tar.gz cd Jasons-Example perl Makefile make && make test && sudo make install That's usually all it takes, very easy stuff.
