So it was looking for my key to sign the package.  I didn't know that
was needed.  Where do I need to put my key?

I was pointed to this program as a way to automatically package a Perl
module and its dependencies without having to manually find and download
them all.  If all it does is create a SPEC file, then how is it
different from cpan2rpm?

What I am looking for is a program that can take a package, figure out
the dependencies, grab them from CPAN (or wherever) and package them all
for installation.  The end result should be a group of rpms that I can
install so that I have the module that I wanted along with all of the
dependencies that I need to make it work.  Does anything like this
exist?
