Ok, so just checking to see how painful this will be. I wanted to see the dependency hell I'd get with 'sudo yum remove perl-5.8.8-4.el4s1' and there were 226 packages to be removed on one of my servers.
I really don't want to use --force to downgrade, but this seems kind of nasty.
Can anyone sanity check please for the following steps?
1) 'zmcontrol stop' (and stop pretty much everything else you can think of)
2) 'sudo yum remove remove perl-5.8.8-4.el4s1' (save list of uninstalled RPM's)
3) edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and add 'exclude=perl*' to [centosplus]
4) 'sudo yum install perl' (should get you 5.8.5)
5) 'sudo yum install xxx' (everything from saved list of uninstalled rpm's)
6) restart services or reboot
