[Centos] remove just one perl package

[Matt Bottrell]

I would take a listing of all the perl packages you have....

Then remove perl (and any other required packages).
You can reinstall them later.  :)

Solve the dependancies first.... once you put back the correct ones
you'll be much better off.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Matt.
