CentOS perl issues

[Mark McIntosh Infowall]

Michael,


I went through this recently as well when upgrading from centos 5.2 to 
5.4 while upgrading MailScanner and clamd. I over wrote my custom 
postfix install as well as messed up my perl version. There is a bug 
upstream that causes perl to act badly it is documented if you search on 
google. I later redid my perl via non rpm centos repositories and all 
went fine. I agree disable rpmforge and use a different repository 
possibly the mailscanner repo or Hugo's if it is back up to date.

Mine was 64bit versus 32 but I have seen this happen in 32 as well.
