- 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...

well, i removed the entire /usr/lib/perl5 directory tree before reinstalling 
the rpm.
there is nothing in /usr/local/lib

thanks!
