1) do you want Log::Dispatch 2.24 badly enough that you're willing to
overwrite the upstream perl package in order to get it? if you really
do, and you're aware of the potential negative consequences, then go
ahead and force the installation.
When only the manpages are conflicting one can make a non-forced
conflict free installation by manually installing the package using 'rpm
--excludedocs'
# rpm -iv --test perl-Sys-Syslog-0.27-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm
Preparing packages for installation...
file /usr/share/man/man3/Sys::Syslog.3pm.gz from install of
perl-Sys-Syslog-0.27-1.el4.rf conflicts with file from package
perl-5.8.5-49.el4
# rpm -iv --test --excludedocs perl-Sys-Syslog-0.27-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm

This is still just a workaround for an issue that RPMforge should have
dealt with instead of putting this burden on the user.
