What I did wasn't perfect but works well enough for now. After removing
both directories I was able to run cpan with no problems. The cpanp
command came up with errors on several missing packages. I used cpan to
reinstall those missing packages and now have cpanp working as well as
cpan. I figure with the two of those perl installation and update
programs working should a problem arise in the future I'll probably be
able to fix it with one of the utilities.

What were all packages you reinstalled after deleting /usr/lib/perl5/ and
/usr/share/perl5/?

If you have a ~/perl5/lib from using CPAN, files using the wrong Perl
version in there may also be causing this error; try:
?mv ~/perl5/lib{,-bak}?
to see if this is the cause. If this doesn't work, you can easily
revert
the change with:
?mv ~/perl5/lib{-bak,}?

I was able to get rid of the problem by deleting /usr/lib/perl5 and
/usr/share/perl5 and reinstalling all packages. I also deleted the Perl
directory in my home directory, and all things are working nicely. Hope
this helps someone if they have this problem in the future.
