What are the newer procedures? I'll be needing to do this in the very near
future.

I was contemplating writing some sort of yum plugin or external utility that
can leverage whatever current procedures exist and register a CPAN install
in the RPM database... but I'm not sure it is worth the effort and I do
realize that breaks the whole Centos testing and reliability model. Still,
there are some functions cannot be found in the usual places that do exist
in CPAN.

Listing the RPM packages you need on the RPMforge mailinglist would be
sufficient to have them added (where possible).

Is there any attempt at coordination between the packages in EPEL and
RPMforge?

Dag,
I can't tell you how much I would appreciate that though I don't envy
this task. Aside from ASSP 2.0 needing many, it requires newer versions
of modules that come in Perl already on CentOS and this has me baffled
as how to handle overwriting these files w/o breaking future yum updates
of Perl itself?

Thanks!
