Or send suggestions on how to make it better.  Send them to me if need
be.  If you want better Red Hat RPMs, send feedback.  If you've sent
feedback, give me a URL and I'll see what I can do to improve the
situation.  I've had issues with our mod_perl and apache RPMs, but the
perl RPMs are pretty good.  Combined with /usr/lib/rpm/cpanflute for
turning cpan tarballs into RPMs, it works pretty well, in my
experience.  I used to compile from scratch, but once I started
working with RPM and not against it, I had good success.
