The perl that comes with F14 is built with those paths, so reinstalling it
with yum won't make any difference.
The 5.10.0 version-specific directories are empty (on my F14 anyway), so
shouldn't affect anything, unless the OP has installed some modules
directly rather than via yum, using an old fedora 5.10.0 perl; then not
having deleted or reinstalled them since.
