Yes, you've hit the nail on the head. It seems old perl modules are left 
in the /usr/lib/ and new perl modules go in /usr/lib64/, maybe to allow 
for 32 bit and 64 bit versions at the same time.

I tried the disable check and it builds, but it still crashes, because 
the wrong modules are accessed at run time.

The only way is to go searching for the old modules and delete them.
