It seems to me that you've probably pulled a perl-devel rpm that
corresponds to a version of perl that does not agree with the one that
is currently installed. Also, for some reason it seems like you can't
get the package's integrity verified. What happens when you do
rpm --checksig <perl-devel-rpm-filename>
?

Ouch. That certainly makes it more difficult. But you should be able
to simply use rpmdrake (system -> configuration -> configure your
computer -> software management) to install perl-devel. Doing this by
hand-downloading the file, etc. is going to be much harder! When you
ask to install perl-devel, rpmdrake should prompt you to install the
CD (or DVD) from which it will read the rpm, and you should be fine.

No that's not a problem. No one except root should run urpmi. and no
one but root should start a daemon (like the slimserver). But for
other purposes you should absolutely not use the root account, because
it makes it far too easy for you to accidentally destroy your system.
By analogy to an automobile, you drive from behind the steering
wheel. There are maintenance actions you do under the hood, reaching
into the motor. But you don't try to drive from down there!
Good luck!
