Here's another solution for the archives: just download
Scalar::Util from CPAN ("install Scalar::Util" will /not/
work, as it's the same version), untar, and build as normal.
Be sure to "make test" to confirm "weaken" works, and
install. If you run up2date, make sure you add "perl*" to
pkgSkipList in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date or it's likely
the next RedHat update will break Scalar::Util.

Of course, the elephant in the room is /why/ RedHat disabled
weak references, but since I couldn't find anything on RHN,
I'm going to risk it.
