Do you use third-party yum repositories other than EPEL?  If not, and
you are up to date, I don't think you should have any conflicts.
There were some issues reported recently on the Centos list but I
thought everything was good now.

No, it is generally a bad idea to mix CPAN and RPM components.  If you
are getting yum/rpm conflicts you should figure out where you got the
conflicting package and report it to the maintainer.

I have a couple of 6.2 systems with backuppc from EPEL and have not
seen any similar problems.  They were probably installed as 6.1 and
updated via yum, but I don't think I updated at exactly the time perl
package conflicts were mentioned for CentOS.   Try a yum update, then
a 'reinstall' of any packages where you suspect problems.  Centos is
normally very, very stable, so I wouldn't give up on it yet.
