title: Finding Perl modules already packaged for Debian and Redhat
body: <p>I'm investigating making a Perl application that uses many modules into either a Debian and/or Redhat package. Currently, I believe the 'cleanest' way to do this is to cite, where possible, the modules that are packaged already for the given distribution.</p>
  
  <p>The alternative would be to use CPAN and probably have some duplications, problems with @INC etc.</p>
  
  <p>However, I can find or interrogate a list of Debian packages here: <a href="http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/cpan2deb/" rel="nofollow">http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/cpan2deb/</a> but I can't currently find an equivalent for Redhat/Fedora. Also I don't really know whether cpan2deb is authoritative and up to date.</p>
  
  <p>If there's another clean way to do this, I'd welcome any other ideas too.</p>
