What I found was to do: yum remove perl-ExtUtils* ...and reinstall 182 packages that were removed as dependencies instead of trying to remove perl itself for which there were 2700+ dependencies. Also, if one did: yum whatdepends CPAN.pm ...and CPAN.pm is found in package: perl-CPAN Apparently, doing 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' barfed and destroyed or messed up the files in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8, or so it seems. Now I will avoid doing perl -MCPAN -e shell so that I do not run into the same problems again for whatever reasons - it was noted on some Fedora sites that it is not a good idea to mix "perl -MCPAN -e shell" community packages against that of yum provided packages. ... Now, I can proceed to figure out how to complete my original intent: to add maildir support to sendmail (as opposed to just installing and using Postfix) as I want the sub-directory feature from which dovecot IMAP gladly supports instead of using the mbox format, which is directory 1-level limited.
