Since the Util.pm file is what's giving you problems, and that's part of the

current version, yum's not going to do that for you. You'll need to download
the rpm, then run rpm against that file as such:
# rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles --force perl-5.8.8*.rpm
Make sure you get the right verion/arch that you presently have installed. I
think this one might be it for you:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/perl-5.8.8-27.el5.i386.rpm
The version *and* *arch* should match what you have from:
# rpm -q perl
(Steve, please chime in here if you have any further insight)
installing a fresh new upstream perl is a fine idea; however, since `rpm -V
perl` produced no output, it looks like his perl package is ok.
here's a way to get to the bottom of this situation. let's see the output of
the following command:
find /usr/lib/perl5/ -type f | xargs rpm -qf | grep package
this will find all the files in the local Perl distribution that are not part
of an RPM. there should be a few; if there's no output at all from this
command, i'll be *really* suspicious. :)

That'll be interesting all right.
His problem is with the Util.pm module. I was assuming that there was
only one such module, but I see now that there can be one for a number
of packages. He's having a problem with the one in
5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Scalar/. I don't have that directory.
I don't quite get this:
# rpm -ql $(rpm -qa | grep ^perl) | grep Scalar | xargs rpm -qf
perl-5.8.8-27.el5
perl-5.8.8-27.el5
perl-5.8.8-27.el5
perl-5.8.8-27.el5
perl-5.8.8-27.el5
perl-5.8.8-27.el5
perl-5.8.8-27.el5
So anything to do with Scalar on my system is in the perl package.
I'm thinking, where did his i386-linux-thread-multi/Scalar come from
(CPAN presumably), and how to get rid of it?
