One thing you can try is to rpm -e your existing perl, and then rpm -i the new
one. Or, rpm -U --force --nodeps newperl.rpm. The first method is drastic - if
it fails, you will be left without perl on your system.
Try rpm -vv -Uvh perlnew.rpm and see if you can figure out the reason why
upgradation failed. Maybe lack of disk space?

questions!
