It is my experience that CPAN installs can or will tend to do things I do not want it to do (or cannot control) in a RPM environment among other things... I am looking more for documentations and information plus URLs to download so we can make decisions as to what they do, how it affects our design and engineering as well as implementation before I would consider installing.
