I did the following:
[r...@mail ~]# rpm -V perl*
package perlpkginstalledviayum is not installed
Also:
[r...@mail ~]# rpm -qa | grep perl*
[r...@mail ~]#
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, for 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 :) ).
