rsync breaks silently or sometimes noisily on big directory/file structures. It depends on how the OP's files are distributed.

Another approach used by people who want to use CPAN a lot, is to download and install Perl from source to say /usr/local, and point CPAN at that. That way you get the benefits of the latest Perl and CPAN without it fighting with yum/rpm. Your hashbang line in each Perl script that uses the altern
