New modules for Fedora Core

I was able to download two modules using:

cpan Net::SSH::Perl

cpan Expect

...but if I run " rpm -qa | grep -i perl"

I am not seeing the new modules I downloaded. Perhaps this is because
of how perl was compiles during the initial install of the FC4 system.
Is there a way to download these modules directly from Red Hat so they
are installed in the right place and perl notices their existence?

Thanks.

No, it's because you didn't install the modules as RPM's (and that's
fine).

The CPAN module should install the modules in the correct place, and
Perl should be able to use them just fine. Are you seeing a problem
when you "use Expect" (etc) in your programs?

You are right - it looks like perl is finding it ok. Thanks.
