Since you are on Fedora and thus have yum, it is a good idea to install perl packages via RPM. Add the following file to your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory: 
# file dries.repo
[dries]
name=Extra Fedora rpms dries - $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/fc$rele
+asever/$basearch/RPMS.dries/

[download]

For packages that aren't in this repo, I'd suggest RPM::Specfile and subsequent packaging with cpanflute2 included there.

Note that you have to disable the somewhat braindead /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req like so 

foreach $module (sort keys %require) {
  if (length($require{$module}) == 0) {
-    print "perl($module)\n";
+    warn "perl($module)\n";
  } else {

    # I am not using rpm3.0 so I do not want spaces arround my
    # operators. Also I will need to change the processing of the
    # $RPM_* vairable when I upgrage.

-    print "perl($module) >= $require{$module}\n";
+    warn "perl($module) >= $require{$module}\n";
  }
}

since otherwise you would end up with packages that require perl-Foo-Bar, Foo::Bar being a core package.
