I guess that's all the MailScanner Perl modules which caused this. Have you 
tried to force the install of the newer Perl like mentioned yesterday in my 
email to you?

It was like this:

rpm -hUv --force --nodeps \  
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/perl-5.8.8-18.el5.i386.rpm

But like I said: That's a bit risky. Ideally you'd be better off removing all 
the conflicting Perl modules one by one with "rpm -e RPM-NAME" and then doing 
a "yum update".
