As already noted by others, you probably have a perl-module
revert to an older version by the yum upgrade.

See:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=375621

To verify if you fell into this bug try if this command
gets an error like:

 $ perl -MScalar::Util=dualvar -e 1
    is only avaliable with the XS version at -e line 0
   BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

      

If yes, then to fix this, do:

  $ perl -MCPAN -e shell
  cpan>  force install Scalar::Util
