You should do:
# rpm -qa | grep ^perl
to see which perl packages are installed. You must have some.
Your rpm -V command isn't quite right either, but I don't think we
really need to do that.
I don't know about removing CPAN modules. Steve, would that really be
necessary? You wouldn't want to go too far in that direction, because
you might cripple yum in the process.
I'd simply try installing the perl packages you're missing with yum.
Here are the perl packages I have on my QMT:
perl-5.8.8-27.el5
perl-Archive-Tar-1.30-1.fc6
perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.003-1.el5.rf
perl-Compress-Zlib-1.42-1.fc6
perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-Bignum-0.04-1.el5.rf
perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA-0.25-1.el5.rf
perl-DBD-MySQL-3.0007-2.el5
perl-DBI-1.52-2.el5
perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-15
perl-Digest-SHA1-2.11-1.2.1
perl-Digest-SHA-5.45-1.el5.rf
perl-Encode-Detect-1.01-1.el5.rf
perl-Error-0.17012-1.el5.rf
perl-Geography-Countries-1.4-2.2.el5.rf
perl-HTML-Parser-3.55-1.fc6
perl-HTML-Tagset-3.10-2.1.1
perl-IO-Compress-Base-2.003-1.el5.rf
perl-IO-Compress-Zlib-2.003-1.el5.rf
perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.51-2.fc6
perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.01-1.fc6
perl-IO-Zlib-1.04-4.2.1
perl-IP-Country-2.24-1.el5.rf
perl-libwww-perl-5.805-1.1.1
perl-Mail-DKIM-0.30.1-1.el5.rf
perl-Mail-DomainKeys-1.0-1.el5.rf
perl-Mail-SPF-2.005-1.el5.rf
perl-Mail-SPF-Query-1.999.1-2.el5.rf
perl-MailTools-2.02-1.el5.rf
perl-NetAddr-IP-4.007-1.el5.rf
perl-Net-CIDR-0.10-8
perl-Net-CIDR-Lite-0.15-8
perl-Net-DNS-0.59-3.el5
perl-Net-Ident-1.20-1.2.el5.rf
perl-Net-IP-1.25-2.fc6
perl-Net-SSLeay-1.30-4.fc6
perl-Razor-Agent-2.84-1.el5.rf
perl-rrdtool-1.4.2-1.el5.rf
perl-Socket6-0.19-3.fc6
perl-String-CRC32-1.4-2.fc6
perl-Sys-Hostname-Long-1.2-8
perl-TimeDate-1.16-5.el5
perl-URI-1.35-3
perl-version-0.74-1.el5.rf
Since you've updated recently, you should already have the rpmforge repo
installed, but it probably is not enabled. Your yum command should look
like this:
# yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install perl perl-Archive-Tar (...)
Use each package name that you're missing, short of the version stuff.
I expect that will take care of things. Please report back your results.

I did the following:

It seems non of my perl modules are installed via rpm.
Is there an easy way of uninstalling the cpan installed modules and
replacing them with the rpm based?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I won't have to worry about using pastebin, here is the results:
[r...@mail ~]# rpm -V perl
[r...@mail ~]#
Thanks for the help.

hi! i have been (a bit belatedly) following this thread.
Paco, please run `rpm -V perl` (as root) and capture the output. if the
output is, say, 10 lines or fewer, then please post it to the list; if
it's longer, please stick it up on a pastebin somewhere and send us a link.
my first guess as to what is wrong is that by using the CPAN shell you
have clobbered some element of the system perl package, and now it is
misbehaving.
on a system with package management (e.g. RHEL/CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu,
Gentoo, Solaris, *BSD, etc.) you should not use the CPAN shell ever, fo
r any reason, at all, no matter what it says in a wiki or a README (and
if you know enough to know when you can disregard that statement, more
power to you :) ).
