The core modules are either there because (mini)perl needs to run them to generate/compile the main perl executable, or they are there because they are considered to be essential to any Perl installation. There also are modules whose inclusion was a bad choice in retrospect, but a deprecation process has only slowly been started.
I think the appropriate way is to create your own RPM for the updated module and install the updated module in lib/site/, so that it gets found before the old version under lib/. In addition, I would ask this question on p5p, as currently, there is a discussion on how to restructure and reorder the Perl installation directories, which will affect you once you distribute 5.12.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
