I run SL5 on all my machines except for my offsite virtual server,
which is running a Xen-ified version of CentOS-5 provided by the
hosting service.  At 0400GMT on November 8, the server yum update
process downloaded   perl-5.8.8-10.el5_0.2.i386.rpm  , which was
probably generated by The Upstream Vendor.  Yum/RPM proceeded to
scribble over the 84841 byte file:

/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/List/Util/Util.so

... with a truncated 36168 byte version that breaks Kwiki and Spoon,pm
among other things.  A CPAN "force install" of Scalar::Util fixed it.

Although this list is focused on Scientific Linux and not TUV
Enterprise 5 or CentOS 5, Perl users here may suffer the same fate
I did if/when this file gets updated for us.  Something to watch
out for.

Who should I contact at TUV and CentOS about this?
