Tried to run "cpan2rpm Tk".  The first file in Tk-804.027.tar.gz is Tk-
804.027/COPYING, i.e., it isn't the root directory of the tarball, which is 
what cpan2rpm is expecting.  cpan2rpm fails with:

get_meta(): Not a directory at /usr/bin/cpan2rpm line 393.

I added a bit more info to that error message and it reports:

get_meta(): chdir(/tmp/ZhnL73u9em/Tk-804.027/COPYING): Not a directory 
at /usr/bin/cpan2rpm line 393.
