Good thought but both perl and mod_perl were upgraded at the same time 
and both are version 5.18. It appears to be RT which is compiled against 
the wrong version.

Fine. I'm trying to do that. Doesn't seem like it should need more than 
going to my unpackage directory and running "make install". However, 
when I try that, I get,

CORE missing dependencies:
         Data::GUID ...MISSING
                 Perl API version v5.16.0 of v does not match v5.18.0 at 
/usr/lib64/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 213.

But the perl-Data-GUID package is /not/ missing.

# ls -l /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Data/GUID.pm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8799 2013-12-13 05:23 
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Data/GUID.pm

I suspect I'm missing a step /before/ "make install". Clues?
