Had a project that the developer wanted us to use cpan to install some modules on all our production systems.. I know many were in yum, but sometimes multiple modules are combined, or name is slightly different, etc.. Also, we would much prefer to deploy them with saltstack, etc. Just learned this command today..
sudo yum install 'perl(IO::Socket::SSL)' 'perl(DBD::Oracle)' 'perl(Bundle::DBI)'
It looks up the correct yum package that contains that perl module..
