Careful, there are double colons needed in the name.  There's a very 
handy package called "cpanspec" which helps you package cpan packages 
into rpms.

In this case, when I first tried it, it gave a list of required packages 
which were all available in Fedora.

dnf install 'perl(DateTime::Set)' 'perl(DateTime::Span)' 
'perl(DateTime::SpanSet)' 'perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker)' 
'perl(Set::Infinite)' 'perl(Test::Exception)' 'perl(Test::More)'

Then I could run (as a user):
cpanspec --build --packager me DateTime::Event::Sunrise

This generated an installable rpm.
