Use Software Collections. There's a newer perl inside software collections, that contains a newer version of Encode for this and will meet your dependencies. There still isn't an rpm based installer for RT, but you'll be able to do things in a 'more correct' way than overwriting the system perl via cpan bundle updates.
Is there an overview of how software collections work somewhere? That is, how a user interacts with a choice of versions of the same thing?
Yes, see this link:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Software_Collecti...
Obviously, any mention of RHN and subscriptions should be ignored and instead the setup to get software collections is:
yum install centos-release-SCL
Once the release package is installed, all the "yum install" directions in the documentation will work fine.
(so that means my command above replaces Section 2.1 in the documentation, but the rest of the documentation is going to work correctly)
