If you're running RHEL, you should not have to touch CPAN except to
acquire modules that Red Hat hasn't packaged up.

If you're going to compile from source, you'll want to get Red Hat's
SRPM, install it and peruse the patch sets that they include to see
which of them you will want to apply to the CPAN version yourself. I
don't recommend this, as the folks at Red Hat, python-lovers though they
be, tend to do a decent job on the integration front.
 
Silly question: have you considered the GTK or KDE toolkit interfaces?
They tend to be maintained a bit better. Of course, you may be
maintaining a legacy application, in which case that advice won't help.
