[CentOS] CPAN issues

[Brian Mathis]

It's not a good idea to update CPAN and/or install modules from CPAN into
the OS-installed perl.  Use rpm packages from yum.  Many can be found in
the standard CentOS repo and EPEL has many as well.  Take a look at
perlbrew if you really need a new version of perl for some reason.  If you
don't really need the new version, don't update it.
