Wow... judging by this and what I've looked at on the site, this guy 
appears to be somewhat misguided... The idea that you can (or should be 
able to) create a single binary RPM (for each module) that works on all 
distributions is rather... odd.

And really... It's quite easy to build perl-modules from source, as long 
as you've got all the necessary prerequisites working correctly.
