Hello Dan, I've had decent luck with Fedora 16 (home) and fedora 17 (at work). With the latter I managed to compile padre from cpan after recompiling some rpm's which wasting too horrid once I found the issue. I could probably wip up a guide if you want the cpan release. I haven't tried fc18 yet so I wouldn't recommend it, most fedora releases are a bit clunky until they start updating.
Also if you have concerns about breaking upgrades you could instal perl brew it should sufficiently isolate everything so that you can revert perl installs. I haven't tried this myself, heh I just try to do it on days the boss is out so I have time to fix it ;).
