shockme, I don't think that's necessarily correct. Bundle::CPAN doesn't include Perl, but often when you set up CPAN (and set follow=yes) it will install the newer Perl automatically when installing something like that.

It's often better to stick with RPMs too, if you're going to install Perl software: the RPMs often express dependencies on modules, etc., and if you've installed them via CPAN the RPM database won't know about them.
