That RPM was built on a system that uses perl 5.6.1; yours uses perl
5.6.0. Perl modules for Red Hat systems should always install into
the site_perl/VERSION directory for the version distributed with the
equivalent RH release -- Red Hat takes that into account when they
release updates, so that the RH perl-5.6.1 in 7.2 would have
site_perl/5.6.0 in its @INC. Since we ship RH's Perl, the same applies
for SME Servers.
That said, there are occasional versiony conflicts in RH perls prior
to 5.8, when the RH @INC structure was implemented differently, but
I don't think this is one of them.
