Perl CPAN vs. RPM?

[Trevor]

I prefer the convinence of CPAN, but enjoy having everything packaged (RPM).
So, I use both with CPAN2RPM. It downloads the package from CPAN and
compiles it into an RPM package... usually called perl-XXXXX-XXXX.

Subject: Perl CPAN vs. RPM?

Hey all:

I'm taking the first steps in learning perl, and had a question about CPAN.
I see that some packagers (DAG, fedora pre-extras, etc...) have RPMs of
things I could also install from the commandline with CPAN.
Which is the "better" way?
