Installing the perl module: cpan vs rpm / deb shell

Question

I'm just wondering - are there any advantages to installing perl modules from the cpan shell compared to installing them through package management? Besides sometimes quick access to the latest version of modules?

Answer 1

Well, it all depends on the intended use of the modules.

Native package management has many advantages:

• Perl modules integrate perfectly with your system, for example. files are in the correct (system dependent) location, scripts added to PATH, etc.
• Automatic update and security fix.
