Assuming your version is loaded with `load' (because with `require' it
won't be loaded if the buggy version already is), perhaps some
variation of this:

(when (featurep 'cperl-mode)  ; or some other check
  (unload-feature 'cperl-mode)
  (require 'cperl-mode))

How effective that is depends on how well `unload-feature' deals with
cperl-mode. (Not very well, at the moment, but a
cperl-mode-unload-function could be added to standard Emacs.)
