As it should be on an RPM-based distro. I strongly recommend installing software only via the system's native package manager. If you violate that by installing Perl itself some other way (e.g. manually), then anything goes for that Perl installation (or Ruby, Python, ...), but if you are using the system's Perl then you should use the system's Perl packages. If you need Perl modules not available pre-packaged then package them yourself; it's not that hard, especially if they are already available from CPAN. Doing otherwise introduces a significant risk of incompatibilities arising and even your Perl modules being mangled, plus it makes management more than twice as hard.
