I also have this problem.

Can't run with DEBUGGING Perl at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 253.

So I tried to install the perl from the download page but I get

package perl-5.8.5-49.el4 (which is newer than perl-5.8.5-36.3) is already installed

So I need to take off the newer perl and install the older perl - how can I do that?

I tried yum remove perl-5.8.5-49.el4 but yum asked me if it was ok to remove 262 applications Y/N so I said No!

Is there an easy way to move to the older perl?

thanks,

seabro
