I agree that installing RT from source is not a problem, but
it is very nice to have all those perl modules built as
RPMs and automatically pulled in - and in the fedora case know
that there won't be conflicts with the system versions because
they are the system versions.

My production version is hand-installed on Centos with fastcgi
but I'm testing the Centos yum/RPM-install:
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?RPMInstall which
seems great other than installing AT.  I'm considering
building one using the perl module RPMs but then adding RT
from source so AT will work.

By the way, what's wrong with the stock Centos mod_perl?
Mine is mod_perl-2.0.1-1.rhel4 and seems to work fine.
