I use primarily redhat7.1 systems, at the moment.
The *easiest* method that I've found is to totally
remove the perl rpm's that come with it. Then install
perl from the tarball. then install cpan, and start
installing modules.
if one won't install from cpan, then I break out
and try to install by hand. so far, I've had great
luck doing it this way.
