Even if we can't fully automate the process, the more we can automate,
the better. My question is: which of the available tools[1] should we
focus on? If Chip is looking to work on cpanflute2, that would be
great.
A CPANPLUS::Dist::RPM module would be useful for installing Perl modules
as RPMs created on-the-fly, but that's not quite what we need in Fedora
Extras.
