What is wrong with the versions of Perl, OpenSSL, Apache, MySQL, etc.,

Nothing at all.

Why do you feel you still need to compile your own?

Because I use mod_perl and a whole bunch of Perl modules to do various
things that aren't available as RPMs, and therefore require
compilation. Believe me, if I could get away without compiling I
would!
