Then you can run cpan2rpm on any tar.gz from CPAN and build RPM 
packages. That's twice "canonical" - you're using the newest CPAN stuff 
_and_ it's all in RPM.

No need to do that. Just pull all the prerequisites from CPAN, run 
cpan2rpm on each one and install the packages, then build and install 
the spamassassin RPM (rpmbuild -ta spamassassin*.tar.gz).
