Since you failed to indicate your deployment method in your original
email, you forced us to guess and grasp at straws.

Which one is a program, they both look like perl modules to me
/usr/lib64/perl5/DynaLoader.pm
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Data/GUID.pm

Because one is installed in /usr/share/perl5 the standard RH perl
library path for site_lib.  The other is installed in a specific lib64
path and is *clearly* a leftover from a 5.16 install (or is detecting
in your @INC something left over from 5.16).

When you upgraded this box and perl was upgraded, did the RPM clean
out the old site installed modules because of binary incompatibility?

I'll repeat my advice:

If it's still failing after you re run configure with perl-5.18 in
your path, please show a full error,  Then show us perl -V.
A full error includes attempting to *install* Data::GUID, not merely
RT telling you that it isn't installed.
