You will probably find that maintaining your own copy of Perl is
less work than depending on the pre-compiled [mess] in most
distro's is less work. Building Perl takes little enough time: just
install it into /opt/perl/<version> via:
./Configure --prefix=/opt/perl -de;
(you can see examples of building it in some of my talks on
slideshare.net if you like). After that:
cd /opt/perl;
rm *;
ln -fs <version>/* .;
[ -d /opt/bin ] || mkdir /opt/bin;
cd /opt/bin;
ln -fs ../perl/bin/* .;
and add "/opt/bin" to your path. After that "cpan FooBar" will
install any modules you require, probably with less hassle than
working around O/S issues with library versions.
You could spend a week or so banging your head out deciphering
whatever bone-headed assumptions the distro builders made or
just get it right the first time yourself.
The process may look daunting the first time around but after
a while you'll notice it takes only a few of your favorite
beverages a month to maintain and induces far less annoyance...
Enjoy
