The /usr/local stuff your not delivered by any Fedora RPM package. It's your
private module built using older perl which you try to load with a new perl
now. Please note that major perl releases are not guaranteed to be
ABI-comptatible which is exactly the error you see now.

Solution is either to remove all content from /usr/local/share/perl5 and
/usr/local/lib64/perl5 or rebuild your private module using current perl. (You
used cpan tool probably.)

Then something is fishy with the source. It should test just built modules from
./blib, not from system paths.

This looks like the two packages disagree on mode or ownership of
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Text directory. This is a packaging bug. The
correct ownership should be root:root and mode 0755.
