[CentOS] attempting to create directory /root/perl5

[Ali Corbin]

I'm not seeing that on my system.
Assuming that your bash rpm verifies (meaning that nothing has
modified the bash startup scripts), my best guess would be that some
package has dropped a file into /etc/profile.d that creates the
directory.  Finding that file would be a first step on figuring out
what it's trying to do.
