Hi all, everytime I play with perl I end up falling on my face.
Yesterday, some new perl modules available from rf (my chosen repo for
perl,
perl is excluded from my CentOS-Base), however it did not like an
already installed perl-File-Temp, so not recalling it was necessary for
my mail system I removed it and allowed the updates.
Then when I discovered my mail system no longer working (amavisd
installed as per centos wiki) I tried to re-install - finally using
--force - but now I have two Temp.pm files and the one I need is not found.
Why is it that perl has this really messy structure and allows multiple
files / methods of the same name, and thus tripping up the unsuspecting.
Now I'm lost as to how to unwind and remove the necessary files from
yesterdays update so I can reinstall perl-File-Temp?
the error message :-
Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/share/man/man3/File::Temp.3pm.gz from install of
perl-File-Temp-0.22-1.el5.rf.noarch conflicts with file from package
perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1.i386
From this it appears that the base perl is in conflict, yet yesterdays
updated perl files were

I tried to remove perl-IO* but it wants to remove most of my machine and
I cannot allow that.
So how do I rewind and get it straight?
