This is wrong. At first - you are loosing control over your system.
There is no possibility to maintain, upgrade and check in the future and
you are going to dependency hell (ie using --nodeps forever).

The second reason is that perl actually contain Digest::MD5 module, try:

perl -e 'use Digest::MD5'


Actually - major part of the CPAN packages are uniform now so there is
possibility to use any SPEC file from other perl CPAN packages and
easily modify them.

And yes - there are repositories with supplemental packages over the
world and there is a high chance to find RPM package for RHEL3
compatible system, Dag has a big repository and I have one too:
