This may be the case.

I just upgraded to RH7.3, so my guess is that Perl was installed with the the version of GCC that came with that, and the installation today was with that version.

Frankly, I found a way to do what I wanted without HTTPS so I may forego the GCC mess for now. But, if I get a chance I will try it and let you all know.
