Howdy -- it looks like you have some third party repositories enabled, which may cause some problems with updates on your system. I'd recommend disabling third party repositories, and only pulling in packages you need from them.

However, that's not likely the culprit here -- we've occasionally seen issues where conflicting versions of Perl were installed on CentOS 5.

There's details here on how to resolve that at the following URL, in the section titled "Why Is 32bit Perl installed on my 64bit CentOS System":

rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n" | grep -v noarch | grep -v x86_64 | grep perl

i got nothing for the above command

@Painful,

I ran into the exact same issue and the fix was to edit the install script as shown here :

Find the yum install -y perl section of the install script :

# YUM install Perl, modules and other dependencies
echo Installing required Perl modules using YUM ..
yum install -y perl openssl perl-Net-SSLeay vixie-cron bind bind-utils kernel-xen kernel-xen-devel xen xen-libs lsof

Change perl to perl.x86_64. :

# YUM install Perl, modules and other dependencies
echo Installing required Perl modules using YUM ..
yum install -y perl.x86_64 openssl perl-Net-SSLeay vixie-cron bind bind-utils kernel-xen kernel-xen-devel xen xen-libs lsof

Hope that helps,

~Jeremy
