How can I Reinstall all perl packages using yum in CentOS5?
Did this problem happen after MailScanner installation or before? Unfortunately, MailScanner forces the installation of a lot of Perl packages, even if they already exist or there are ones from CentOS or other repo's. I suggest installing all required perl packages via yum and *not* install MailScanner with the provided install script. I always just install the single MailScanner rpm that gets provided in the "rpm.tar.gz" file for Red Hat. That helps to avoid this. There's almost no package in that tarballs that cannot be instaleld via centos or rpmforge repos. As for reinstalling all the packages, "rpm -qa|grep perl" will give you a list of the installed packages. I'm not sure what the best way would be to remove or reinstall them as there might be a lot of dependencies.
