So, it appears that the perl-Archive-Tar package that you're trying to install requires a version of Perl earlier that you have installed. Aside from going back on the Perl version (not a good idea) you can either wait for the perl-Archive-Tar disto to be upgraded or (my suggestion) use cpan to install Archive::Tar. If this fails, you'll have the source around to change the required version of Perl. I doubt that this would cause you problems.
