Sadly I am coming to the same conclusion. As a development team we managed our own Perl on AIX/Unix. Upon our move to Red Hat GNU/Linux we looked forward to handing off that responsibility to the package manager (rpm via yum/dnf). After all our monthly patch cycles would pick up security items without us having to monitor and manage these on our own.

If the struggle continues without resolution I'll cycle back to give that consideration. However, that would be non-trivial undertaking as I would not only need to install all the required modules but I also need to interface with the system installed httpd (Apache) that is hosting Bugzilla.

I say "sadly" because I see see a lot of advantages in package management. But it only works if the OS vendor and sys-admin team avoid regressive steps.
