Well, the problem I'm trying to solve is rpm packaging, which is not
necessarily the same as solving the perl distribution issue.
However...

Would a CPAN package be more amenable to an rpm packaging? That is, if
we had a CPAN distribution (generated locally, of course), could I
plop that into an rpm and have a standard, easy procedure to follow
within the rpm to get the stuff extracted and installed onto a
machine?? I'm blissfully ignorant about CPAN and the packaging
conventions, but would like suggestions.
