I did an urpmi.update -a
followed by urpmi --auto-select This upgraded perl to perl-5.8.0-0.17412.5mdk. and other repective packages rpmi-3.7-3mdk and gurpmi-3.7-3mdk. I no longer have the use of Software Manager or urpmi from the command line. I get the following output when I issue the command (su -c "/usr/sbin/urpmi.update -a"): Can't use string ("") as a subroutine ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/urpm.pm line 934.
