Which reminds me...  I probably haven't been trying hard enough to
"sell" this to everyone, but I really think it is a nice tool.  In
this case, the vast majority of the work of building the rpm can be
done by cpanspec:

  $ cpanspec --build --verbose Net::IP::CMatch
  Updating /home/steve/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz...
  Fetching /home/steve/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz from http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/perl/cpan/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz...
  Fetching Net-IP-CMatch-0.02.tar.gz from http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/perl/cpan/authors/id/B/BE/BEAU/Net-IP-CMatch-0.02.tar.gz...
  Building rpms from perl-Net-IP-CMatch.spec
  [...]
  + exit 0
  $ rpmlint perl-Net-IP-CMatch-0.02-1.src.rpm 
  W: perl-Net-IP-CMatch invalid-license CHECK(GPL or Artistic)
  $ rpmlint x86_64/perl-Net-IP-CMatch-0.02-1.x86_64.rpm 
  W: perl-Net-IP-CMatch invalid-license CHECK(GPL or Artistic)

In other words, the license needs to be verified, but otherwise the
thing builds, "make test" passes, and rpmlint is happy.  Looking at
the spec file, %description could use some work too, but that's also
very minor.

I have the CPAN environment variable set to my local mirror, BTW.
That or --cpan/-c can be used to override the default of www.cpan.org.
