This would appear to be a yum message. Could you provide details as to
what yum repositories you have enabled? Is yum set to update your
system automatically? We need some details here.

This doesn't help you, as rpm has absolutely no idea that you've
installed software via cpan. Because cpan (and other source
installation methods) don't update the rpm database, you'll run into
more issues like this the more you install from source. It's much
better to stick with the package management system for your particular
distro, be it .deb, rpm or something else.
