Haven't tried cpan2deb but cpan2rpm does not work with many CPAN modules and also it doesn't deal with dependencies the way CPAN does. So I guess they aren't as magical as you think.

Sure they are, why complicate things? simple way, first build 500 perl modules and all required dependencies, and then make an rpm -- there you go build it the way the debian release managers build it, one module at a time, until you have a chain of dependencies It doesn't get more magical than this	[reply]
