[Centos] remove just one perl package

Hi,

I am on CentOS using Plesk as an administration area and am running into
constant errors trying to update any perl packages because of an accidental
install of a perl package from a third-party.

When I tried yum remove perl it listed every perl package on my system to
remove which is what I do not want.  I only want to remove one called
perl-5.8.5-9rhel3.art

Below says "success" but those perl packages are not updated.

How can I just remove this one package, perl-5.8.5-9rhel3.art, so the other
conflict errors will go away and not break the whole system? These are the
errors:
