I've packaged some stuff lately. They are already available in Conectiva's snapshot.
perl-Curses
perl-Error
perl-Filter
perl-IO-Tty
perl-Jcode
perl-Lingua-Ispell
perl-Log-Dispatch
perl-Log-Dispatch-Config
perl-POE
perl-POE-Component-IRC
perl-POE-Component-Logger
The decision criteria for which modules to package was: I need it to put my bot up. The logging modules entered because Matts asked for his POE module to be packaged too.

I'm kinda curious, being the author of Lingua::Ispell.

The RPMs were sent to Conectiva for distribution with their Linux version. It's easier to maintain RPM packages then perl modules. Specially when upgrading or migrating servers.
With RPM all you have to do is to reinstall the same packages (or let the application's dependencies require them). With Perl you'd need to loop through all your possible used directories searching for packages. If you are the only user of the machine, that's easy
