The problem is that perl modules are not usually written in perl, and
need to be compiled.  This means that they need to be binary
compatible with the version of perl you have installed.  Installing a
new version of perl will (usually) break binary compatibility and
you'll need to recompile those perl modules.  

This can be done pretty easily, I think.  If you have the CPAN.pm
module installed (should be with redhat) do a 

perl -MCPAN -e shell

as root, answer the questions, and do "install <module>" on each one
Pilotmanager needs.

(Disclaimer: I have only used CPAN.pm once, a while back, and I'm no
perl expert... a lot of details will need to be filled in.)
