That's [a replacment for] the base perl package, unless I'm mistaken.
Removing that will remove your perl executables and core perl library,
which will then have to be re-installed.
As things currently stand, you should NOT install perl-CGI-2.81-89.10,
because that's the version for the perl-5.8.0 baseline, not perl-5.8.5,
and it would appear that the files it contains are already folded into
the perl-5.8.5 package you installed. "Upgrading" perl-CGI-2.81-89.10
would actually be a going backwards.
What you really should do is
rpm --justdb -e perl-CGI
because perl-CGI-2.81-89.10 is no longer necessary in your corrent config.
Your other option is go ahead and allow yum to remove every perl package
on your system, and then re-install it again, which will back you off to
perl-5.8.0, but that may break something that depends on the newer perl.
