a few problems i run into when doing that...

1. After I install, I cannot use the modules:

[red@dhcp201 ~]$ perl -e 'include x::y;'
Can't locate object method "include" via package "x::y" (perhaps you f
+orgot to load "x::y"?) at -e line 1.
[red@dhcp201 ~]$ perl -e 'print(@INC);'

2. I cannot use cpan2rpm to build an rpm. It will only contain the x.pm file, no subdirectories.

atlantis@atlantis-laptop:~/workspace/x/lib/x$ cpan2rpm .
