I am not sure if you are trying to be sarcastic about what I said or you simply asking for real.

If you added repositories that contain perl-modules then it will eventually will install all it dependencies as it is existed or simply compile it (you will need to check perl for requirements). While RPM hell is existed when you want to install X that is requiring Y and Y won't be installed unless A,B,C installed first and you won't be able to find one or more of these requirements because of its either not existed or conflict with D or for any similar reasons ,so here is a no go for install X and you should forget it. --Hopefully, I explained it better this time.
