This looks a little fishy...

I agree, I'm not sure where it's coming from.

FWIW, nothing like that showed up in my brief test - missing substitutions like that are usually a sign of a build gone wrong from early on.

That's a good question, but my qualms are mainly down wanting to perhaps use local::lib and have up to date CPAN modules as it seems to take a long time for these to filter down via redhat.

Mmm. I use the RPMForge repo for more up-to-date Perl modules, but I've yet to run into any problems using the nominally outdated ones filtering down from RedHat/CentOS. Net::DNS is the only module I can think of where there are/were known issues (at least with respect to SA's usage) in the stock version.

This is based around what I've seen from local::lib:

Ah, hm. I think you should be fine just setting your path to call your custom Perl ahead of the system Perl; that looks to be targetted at cherrypicking module updates alongside the packaged system Perl.

Yeah, that's the weird bit. You might try installing SA from the tarball instead of CPAN - I had some odd errors come up when I tried via CPAN, but I have a feeling some of that had to do with doing the whole test as non-root.
