Is there a specific reason you want to use the tarball install?
The rpm based install will do so many more steps for you. It will leave you
with a almost ready to run install, ready for you to tweak and adjust. And you
will have the side benefit of the rest of your rpm system not breaking any of
your perl stuff.
