You could install a different copy, but RHEL4 has a suitable
version and just needs a lot of extra modules that should
not break anything else. The only one you might be concerned
about is HTML::Mason.  If you have existing sites using older
versions you should be cautious about updating to the current
one. The RPM's mentioned at
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?RPMInstall
should work, but since it has to co-exist with other sites
you'll probably want to run it under fastcgi instead of
mod_perl.
