[CentOS] recompiled mod_perl insists on old perl dependency

Hello,

In order to overcome a known performance bug in perl-5.8.8-10 in
centos 5 (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=196836) I
downloaded the perl package from fedora 8
(http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/source/SRPMS/perl-5.8.8-30.fc8.src.rpm)
and mod_perl (http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/source/SRPMS/mod_perl-2.0.3-14.src.rpm)
and compiled them on an x86_64 machine following instructions from
http://sial.org/howto/rpm/.

The perl-5.8.8-30 installed fine but when I try to install the new
mod_perl it insists on installing perl-4:5.8.8-10.el5_0.2.i386:

Dependencies Resolved

=============================================================================
 Package                 Arch       Version          Repository        Size

Installing for dependencies:

Going ahead with this complains about conflicts with the installed
perl-5.8.8-30.

What can I do to fix this?

Is anyone here is aware of another way to get a fixed version of perl
for CentOS 5?

Thanks,
