Ok.

1.) Red Hat 6.2 doesn't ship by default with Perl 5.6.
2.) The RHL 6.2 RPMset is compiled to run on a vanilla RHL 6.2.
3.) The postgresql-perl RPM doesn't contain the DBI::Pg module -- it contains
the non-DBI/DBD Pg module.
4.) The RHL 6.2 RPMset is compiled for i386 because people running this on
486's shouldn't be penalized. (Yes, there _are_ people running stuff for
development on 486's. All the world isn't Pentium III.)

If you want a version of the RPM's for your particular setup, you will need
to rebuild from the source RPM. This is accomplished rather easily,
providing that you have a full development environment on your machine. See
the rebuilding section of /usr/doc/postgresql-7.1.2/README.rpm-dist for more
information.
