I think in future I will probably maintain my Perl stuff from CPAN. (The nuisance is that for compiled Perl modules one needs to install the devel RPMs relevant to the module).
FWIW, that's what I've done for years and generally without any issues at all. Very occasionally an underlying compiled library from the Suse distribution is so old that the current CPAN release can't deal with it, but usually the CPAN modules will cope with binary libraries that are considerably older than themselves. To a large extent, these occasional difficulties are self-inflicted because I run Suse releases way past their sell-by-date.
