Yes. You system will likely die a horrible screaming death. Maybe I
exaggerate a little, but Perl 5.6 is one reason the next RedHat is 7.0
and not 6.3. The rpm -e perl is going to die, unless you --force it.
Then you will have to reconfigure the new perl to be identical to the
old in setup -- and Perl 5.6 is not going to be identical in any case.

For good reason. If you must have Perl 5.6, upgrade to RedHat 7.0 when
it's released. If you must have pl/perl, (as the Pg module does _not_
require libperl.so), then see the instructions in the postgresql-7.0.2-2
rpm spec file, in the src.rpm. Or ask Karl DeBisschop on the
pgsql-hackers list.
If you are running the RPM distribution, and you're talking about the Pg
client-side perl module, then install postgresql-perl-7.0.2-2.
