The thing about package management is that either you need to use it, or you need to avoid it. Trying to manage a bunch of inter-related files, all in the same area of the file system, like perl modules, using different management methods, is like asking to be kicked in the head repeatedly with a pointy rock. Personally, I only use RPM to do perl modules and cpan2rpm to deal with making packages for those modules. -- Randomly Selected Tagline: "Any two consenting adults can rub two primes together to create a public keypair" - R.
