The programs that need perl should state a dependency on a particular
version:
Requires: perl = 5.6.0
Not greater-than-or-equal '>=', they depend on the exact string '5.6.0'
to find the libraries.
Then when perl gets updated RPM will, uh, remind you to recompile the
other packages too :-).
This again illustrates the value of good package dependencies.
