Is my Perl (5.6.1) just too old to be built on RHEL4AS?

Not from my experience. I'm slowly migrating a redhat 7.2 server on to a system with a proper migration path for code and so on, so I've had to build 5.6 several times now. Works fine every time.

I use CentOS, so theres not much difference at all between my systems and yours:

$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.6.2 built for i686-linux

$ uname -a                                                            
+

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
