I take it from your comment that CPAN puts things into /usr/local.
Yes.
Can I just blow away all things PERL in /usr/local and then install
any
modules that go missing using dnf?
Assuming the module is packaged, you can do, for example:
dnf install 'perl(Unix::Syslog)'
If the module is not packaged, you can use 'cpanspec' to generate rpms
that you can install. I used that extensively for a library system I
installed. Some of the spec files I had to edit a bit before they would
work and you have to package the dependencies first, but I managed to
package all the requirements successfully.
