More likely you have conflicting versions of perl running around on your
machine.  CPAN isn't supposed to upgrade perl.  That it did is accidental,
not intentional - there have been several CPAN bugs where it failed to
recognize the core perl distribution as such.  A clean install of perl
from rpm or src might be in order.  Make sure you get rid of all remnants
of your old and new perl before you do that.

On Red Hat machines I generally reinstall CPAN.pm before anything else,
log out of the CPAN shell, and back in.  That seems to get around the core
distribution recognition problem.
