Depends of what your definition of 'is' is :)

What I've seen is that Julian's install script chokes while rpmbuild 
--rebuild 'ing the src.rpm's because of a failed dependency. Since 
perl-Archive-Zip is not installed, it's listed as a missing dependency, 
even if the corresponding built-from-CPAN module is installed and 
working. If you don't want to see the error, try:

1. rpmbuild --rebuild perl-Archive-Zip-whatever.src.rpm from Julian's 
rpm tarfile. What happens there? If it goes through without a problem, 
you'll have an rpm file sitting somewhere (probably 
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/) called perl-Archive-Zip-whatever.rpm which 
you can rpm -Uvh to install.
2. If that doesn't work, try getting cpan2rpm from 
ftp://arix.com/cpan2rpm-2.028-1.noarch.rpm and installing it, then doing 
a "cpan2rpm Archive::Zip"; this should get you a 
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-Archive-Zip-1.16-1.noarch.rpm which you 
can then install using rpm -Uvh 
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-Archive-Zip-1.16-1.noarch.rpm - that 
should take care of the Archive-Zip dependency. Do the same for the 
other modules.
