As I understand it, there's a chance that you'll have problems if you
install some modules as RPMs and some through CPAN. This is because
most RPMs are constructed to put modules in the vendor_perl directory
and CPAN will install them into the site_perl directory - so it's
possible to end up with two versions of the same module installed.

Personally I find that cpanspec gives me higher quality RPMs.

That's the best advice tho'. Let someone else do all the work :)
