In my own dealings with rpm-based systems in the past that was often the best solution, remove the perl that came with the OS (or at least as much of it as you can without crippling the system entirely) and install a new one from scratch in /usr/local/... Now that I'm on Debian I go the opposite way and use dh-make-perl to generate .debs from any CPAN package I want to install, which is much nicer of course. I don't know whether an equivalent script exists for your system (if not it shouldn't be too hard to create one yourself, or possibly even use dh-make-perl and then alien --to-rpm to create appropriate system packages? Dunno whether that is even possible though).

None of this is very much help with your immediate problem of course, it seems to me that you're having version problems from mixing two different perl module sources, but that's all I can say.


All dogma is stupid.
