Dear All,

I have a centos 5 server running my mail and Dns working fine

but when i try to do u yum ugrade or yum update it gives me lots of perl errors and it terminates

OS is centos 5 (final)

the part of errors reported

file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Math/BigFloat.pm from install of perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1 conflicts with file from package perl-Math-BigInt-1.86-1

.....

have you by any chance ever used CPAN to install perl modules ?

cpan wouldn't cause RPM conflicts, since rpm doesn't know about what CPAN installs. Chances are he has some perl RPM's from a third party repo.
