The way you do it depends on your local admin procedures.  If you are
not concerned about sticking with the packaging system, you can just
compile and install perl, letting it write over your existing one.  Most
people will not want to do that though.

If you want to stick with the RPM system, you can grab the source RPM
for perl, tweak the options and recompile it, or make your own RPM,
copying the dependency info from Red Hat's, or just install your perl in
a different place (e.g. /usr/local/fast_perl).

Maybe it would be cool to make an FC3 RPM of Perl built with the best
options that installs into a non-conflicting location available for
download.  Hmmm, if it was compiled with Intel's compiler for a little
more speed, would that mean that mod_perl would also have to be compiled
with the Intel compiler?
