Yes. Run the install.sh script and it will build the RPM's just write for
the version of Perl you have on your system. The installation directory for
Perl modules depends on the version of Perl you have got installed. So the
only way to do it with RPMs is to distribute the SRPMs and rebuild them on
your system.
