Thanks for the replies. I finally got it installed with an rpm. Seems to be working ok.

If you have really light use of Perl, I guess you can get away with it, but anything interesting and you will likely need something that diverges from the OS Perl.

Most importantly, never use CPAN to install modules into the OS Perl if you have access to do so – you will break programs that come with the OS distribution.
