in thread Finding Module Versions - How Would You Do It?

Haven't tried cpan2deb but cpan2rpm does not work with many CPAN modules and also it doesn't deal with dependencies the way CPAN does. So I guess they aren't as magical as you think.

Sure they are, why complicate things?

simple way, first build 500 perl modules and all required dependencies, and then make an rpm -- there you go

build it the way the debian release managers build it, one module at a time, until you have a chain of dependencies

It doesn't get more magical than this
