Built it from source? Then I would expect you to have been asked
a bunch of questions by Configure, including which directories to
install to. Just change the default prefix from /usr/local to /usr
if you want to overwrite RH's perl.
If you were installing a binary, then try installing the source.
You should be able to zip through by saying
./Configure -de -Uprefix=/usr
make test
make install
