Try the modules for 7.2. I don't have time to support anything but the 
latest version of Red Hat Linux for RPMs (although others are free to 
volunteer support), but the CPAN modules should be binary compatible back 
to 7.0, at least for stuff that doesn't link to updated libraries like 
OpenSSL (Net::SSLeay). So try perl-Digest-MD5 from the RHL-7.2 directory.

Then you can install the RPM with the --nodeps option to tell RPM not to 
worry about it. It should work fine.
