Screwed up Perl install [OT]

If I have a machine with a screwed up perl configuration, some installed
in /usr/lib/perl5 and some in /usr/local/lib/perl5, is there any easy
way to get everything back under /usr/lib/perl5 without starting over?
Running Fedora Core 6.

Thanks in Advance

After tarballing /usr/lib/perl5...

Some careful use of rsync and -u and -n flags might be fun.

On my system and I believe on FC too but you should check, a stock
system has no files in the /usr/local tree at all. This means that
you can simply remove all files from there and return the system to a
stock state, with regards to that directory hierarchy.

find /usr/local -type f -print
