MS busted! Please Help

[lists at openenterprise.ca]

I cant seem to uninstall some perl modules that the MS install script seems
to indicate a conflict with now? 

Is there anyway to force the MS install script to install all its own perl
modules?



.....from install of perl-MIME-Base64-3.07-1 conflicts with file from
package perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3
       
but if I run "yum remove perl-MIME-Base64" it does not seem to be
installed? Se below

I have certainly hooped perl so need to somehow start clean



root at gateway:~# yum remove perl-MIME-Base64
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Setting up Remove Process
