I just installed RedHat 6.2 on a bunch of workstations, and faced the same problem. My procedure was:
rpm -qa | grep perl # I can never remember the name of the RPM
rpm -e --nodeps perl-5.0053-whatever.rpm
rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5
Then I went to the NFS-mounted directory where I had built 5.6 and did a make install.
This has the nice secondary effect of having Perl installed in the same way on my RedHat
and other machines, i.e. the library is in /usr/local/lib/perl5 everywhere.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
