I realize this is my fault because once upon a time I installed a package using CPAN and probably other admins on the system have as well but now whenever I update perl I have to jump through hoops to get perl applications to work again (usually updating Scalar::Util and another package with CPAN). I would love to figure out how to fix this so it&#39;s not such a headache to keep up to date with perl, but I can&#39;t figure out how.<br>
<br>I tried moving my /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl directory out of the way and installing perl-Scar-Util using yum but it doesn&#39;t let me because the perl-5.8.8 rpm owns the man file for that. I&#39;m not sure why the default Scalar-Util (isn&#39;t it built in to the base install of perl on CentOS) doesn&#39;t work in the first place? <br>
<br>Also I do add perl packages via the dag/rpmforge repo, not sure if that messes up the perl updates too. Sorry I realize this could also be classified as a perl question -- but I&#39;m hopeful other centos admins found a way to get their centos back into compliance with the yum updates.<br>
