I'm not 100% sure, but that sounds like there are some shared object files
that are having a version mis-match from the Perl code that bootstraps 
them (.pm files).  Is it possible that some or all of the directories
from the old Perl install are still there?  What happens when you run 
perl -V -- specifically what is listed as being on @INC?

If those modules happend to be installed or upgraded by hand, then rpm
might not have removed them or that part of the old lib tree...
