The issue I experienced is that I also had the i386 perl package installed, but that package was not being offered in the x86_64 update tree. So I enabled the i386 updates repo that I created in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and updated perl. All worked fine with that: $ sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-released-i386 update perl To create the updates-released-i386 repo, copy the fedora-updates.repo (I think that's the name) file and put the mirrors in that you want with i386 hard coded in instead of the arch macro. Also, change the name in the [] at the top to be updates-released-i386 (or whatever you want). Also, you could download the i386 rpm manually and update it and the x86_64 package in the yum cache at the same time. Jonathan
