You should have these settings for [extras], [base] and [updates]
sections in CentOS-Base.repo:
priority=1
protect=1
You should also (after properly configuring your repo files), use
yum-priorities and remove yum-protectbase.
According to the wiki, it seems like editing the file:
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/protectbase.conf
And adding (or changing) it to have enabled set to zero:
[main]
enabled = 0
Would disable the protectbase plugin. Is this a valid way of disabling
yum-protectbase in preference for yum-priorities?

For my system, I did the following to fix the issue:
A) Make sure that [extras], [base], and [upgrades] were all at the same
priority level (I used priority=1 for all three of those sections)
B) Disabled yum-protectbase as shown above (putting enabled=0 in the
[main] section) in the protectbase.conf file under /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/
C) Ran the upgrade command for just perl:
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=updates --enablerepo=base
--enablerepo=extras upgrade perl
...
Many thanks to Gregory for pointing out a good fix for this issue. I
suspect it all goes back to having [extras] at a different priority
level then [base] and [upgrades].
