The alternative that I prefer is to install a custom perl for your application in another location (like /opt/bin). This keeps it separate from your system perl, so your os patches work fine and patching won't break your application.
This works too, but requires that you stay on top of security updates yourself, rather than relying on the distribution updates. If you're willing to take on the extra load, it'll work just fine.
