because the forced modules probably overwrote the original built-in
version, so that after removal nothing was left.

Should not be difficult. Shutdown all programs that are based on Perl and
remove the MailScanner rpm and then Perl (and all Perl modules) with rpm.
Then reinstall Perl with yum. Make a note of all modules you had installed
for other programs, so you can reinstall them. (Just force-installing Perl
over the existing setup may also cure it, but it's not really clean.) Then
use Hugo's repo.
You may run into this problem again, when the system Perl gets updated
which may happen with 5.3. There was already a Perl upgrade late last
year.
