because the forced modules probably overwrote the original built-in 
version, so that after removal nothing was left.

Should not be difficult. Shutdown all programs that are based on Perl and 
remove the MailScanner rpm and then Perl (and all Perl modules) with rpm. 
Then reinstall Perl with yum. Make a note of all modules you had installed 
for other programs, so you can reinstall them. (Just force-installing Perl 
over the existing setup may also cure it, but it's not really clean.) Then 
use Hugo's repo.

You may run into this problem again, when the system Perl gets updated 
which may happen with 5.3. There was already a Perl upgrade late last 
year.
