Do a
         rpm -qa | grep -i perl
to see all the perl RPM's you've got installed, then "rpm -e" them one at a
time.

Your manual MIME-tools build clearly didn't work properly as all the tests
returned "dubious" rather than "okay". I would guess one of the earlier
modules didn't install properly.
