We are stuck with the Red Hat RPM for now and the foreseeable future. Installing our own perl is considered to disruptive.

Site_perl is first in @INC. When I access the CGI.pm element of the @INC hash in my test below it returns the /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl path and not the /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 path which also has CGI.pm. 

CGI.pm exists in two locations.
# ls  /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CGI.pm  /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/CGI.
+pm
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CGI.pm  /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/CGI.pm

Which CGI.pm are we using?
# perl -MCGI -le 'print $INC{"CGI.pm"}'
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/CGI.pm

# perl -V | tail -10
  @INC:
    /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
    /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8
    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
    /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8
