In general, I use RPM to install the base perl binaries since those don't really change. I don't install perl modules that are in RPM packages because it will just cause that part of the RPM database to be junk. I use CPAN to install all the perl modules on the system.

I use RPM to build the framework of modules necessary for the various things I've instaled, then CPAN to get the newer versions of the existing modules.

Unfortunately, with what is now a rather ancient distribution (RH7.3), it's getting harder to keep it current with RPMs.
