If you didn't install perl via package manager (rpm), it has no chance of knowing that perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.12.3) is installed. Solution: use cpan to install modules instead of pre-compiled packages.

No, I didn't install via rpm. I downloaded perl 5.12.3 tar from cpan.org and configured it manually (./configure, make, makeinstall) over my system. What elese nned to be done to get module perl-Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.59-4, please advice.

See Re: Error While installing perl, Re: Error While installing perl, Re: Error While installing perl, if you compiled perl yourself, go ahead and compile everything yourself (cpanp -i Module, cpan Module ), don't use some package manager, they don't mix well

Read the previous responses you already have which explain how to install this module. If you have problems be specific as to what they are (How do I post a question effectively?). Sys::Statistics::Linux is now at version 0.66, note the change to provide backward comparability for Perl lower than v5.10. The version you are installing has problems, and is a couple of years out of date.
