I am using perl 5.8.0, with PERLIB envrinoment set as :
    perlpath=/usr/lib/perl5
   export 
PERLLIB=$PERLLIB:$perlpath/5.6.1:$perlpath/site_perl/5.6.1:$perlpath/vendor_perl/5.6.1:$perlpath/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux

This would be the reason for perl5.6.1 showing up in error messages.

Unfortunately I am trying to stick to redhat supplied packages as much
as possible due to the registration on RHN. But if there are compelling
reasons, then moving away from those packages is a possibilty.
