Installing Perl Modules with RPM

I have been in the habit of using CPAN to install perl modules onto
servers. However, this time around I decided to try installing them with
YUM/RPM onto my new Fedora Core 6 server.

One of the modules I need is
Time::HiRes which curiously was not available through yum. So I went
looking and found an RPM at rpm.pbone.net. When I tried installing this
rpm I got a conflict with perl-5.8.8-10. I little bit more Google work and
it seems that perl-5.8.8-10 might have made Time::HiRes obsolete.

Can any of you confirm or deny this?

Thanks,
Stephen
