The world of perl modules is far, far more expansive than the world of SuSE RPM's. And updated much more frequently to boot. For a very large portion of the perl modules out there, no RPM exists.
A better way is to build RPM packages from the CPAN modules you need. It ain't difficult at all.

RPM gives you better control of what is installed on your system, especially in case you have to rebuild it. -Kastus
