I'm fine with using CPAN, I just want to understand if I have something
configured wrong as I'm not very familiar with CentOS and I'd like to
make sure I haven't got a busted config

I think I have this setup already:

[mthaddon at berlin jasperserver2.0.1]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo 
# Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise 4 - dag
# URL: http://rpmforge.net/
[rpmforge]
name = Red Hat Enterprise $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag
#baseurl = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$basearch/dag
mirrorlist = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/mirrors-rpmforge
#mirrorlist = file:///etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-rpmforge
enabled = 1
protect = 0
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag
gpgcheck = 1

Am I missing something?

Cheers, Tom
