Can't install HTML::Mason on CentOS 6.4

I’ve been using Mason for many, many years now on CentOS 5 and have decided to upgrade the server to CentOS 6.4.  I’ve added the rpmforge repository to my CentOS 6 installation.  The rpmforge repository contains a pre-built Mason image.  I’ve attempted to install it using “yum install perl-HTML-Mason” but get an error that Log::Any isn’t available.  OK, so I perform a “yum search log-any” and find nothing.  Given that it doesn’t appear to be available through yum, I then install Log::Any using cpan, but the HTML::Mason install still thinks that it’s not there even though a perl –e ‘use Log::Any’ now confirms its presence.

Now, on the Perl Monks forum I received an excellent suggestion to use Perlbrew to install a separate perl instance.  That way I can get modules from CPAN and make this all work.  However, when I do that, and use “cpan HTML::Mason”, cpan tries to build it and it fails all over the place.  If it did get this to work, it would also require me to rebuild mod_perl, which I also don’t really know how to do properly.

I guess my question is, shouldn’t a pre-build HTML::Mason on rpmforge install properly in a CentOS 6.4 installation?  I know that HTML::Mason is now frowned upon in favor of Mason 2, but I have to get a new server in place for some huge existing projects and don’t really have the resources at the moment to undertake a migration.  Is there some way to make the HTML::Mason yum install know that Log::Any is really there even though it wasn’t installed through yum?  Any other suggestions maybe from people who use Mason on CentOS 6?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!  More greatly than you know...
