I am not a Perl expert, but in my experience the packages installed with CPAN
and with RPM does not overwrite each other. CPAN stores the libraries in a
different directory in which Perl looks for libraries before than looking for
the libraries downloaded with RPM.

This is according my experience, but some Perl installation expert will be able
to clarify this issue.
