+Installing through CPAN is dangerous because it doesn't have an uninstall command and modules you install are not registered in a package manager (and therefore can only be removed manually).  Use ''cpan2rpm'' to create RPMs from CPAN modules: http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/

+<code># rpm -Uvh ~alan/cpan2rpm-2.028-1.noarch.rpm</code>
