I've been dabbling with building RPMs from CPAN modules. Mostly they are modules I've written but I've also packaged a few dependencies that they have.

The RPMs are on my web site. I built them using Fedora Core 5, but in case that doesn't work for some people I've also made the source RPMs and the spec files available.

I'm interested in any comments you have about them. If it's successful then I might start a real yum repository.

Update: If anyone has a suggestion for a better CPAN to RPM tool (I'm currently using cpan2rpm) then I'd love to hear it.
