That's in the perl-XML-Simple package, which should be just a yum  
install away. I'm too lazy to visit RHN or vpn to the office, but its  
definitely in CentOS 5, pretty sure its in RHEL5 too.

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/perl-XML-Simple-2.14-4.fc6.noarch.rpm

Ew. IMO, cpan should almost NEVER be the answer for RHEL.
