​You might want to decouple the Perl from the OS RPM and build your own
/$local/bin/perl that you control the version of and the CPAN versions in
the matching /$local/lib/perl​
( for a suitable value of $local )
​ -- not as a hotfix, but as a strategic move to let you move forward.
The other modules you want the new features or fixes in are less ​and less
likely to continue supporting 5.010_01
