Options are: 1. Force installation of the new package -only man files are involved-. 2. Delete the old package and reinstall -so far no problema-. 3. $ sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-released-i386 update perl (I am not that crazy about perl right now). 4. Wait for a refurbished update -elegant solution but I don't know if anyone would care about it- Thanks in advance for your advice Leopoldo Olmos
