Why not grab the source at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8797 and build a 
new RPM for it?

Actually, I just looked and there is a spec file in the tarball.  You 
should be able to build your own RPM issuing the command:

rpmbuild -ba plptools.spec

Once you've set up your rpmbuild directory structure, of course.  See 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines for some good info 
about building packages.
