Yum exclude list and Perl

[Antarius]

Soiuld I include "perl*" or just "perl" to my yum exclude list?

You should use both perl and perl-*

@RPMLIST=("pine","gd","gd-devel","gd-progs","expect","freetype",
"freetype-devel","gnupg","lynx","ucd-snmp","ucd-snmp-devel","ucd-snmp-utils",
"wget","sharutils","bind","bind-devel","bind-utils","openssl","openssl-devel","openssl-misc",
"openssh","openssh-server","openssh-clients","XFree86-devel","XFree86-libs","mysql4",
"mysql4-server","mysql4-client","libgd1","libgd1-devel","gd-utils","perl-CPAN","gcc",
"libmysqlclient10-dev");


But I noticed the rpm list from sysup cotains perl-CPAN. Doesn't it mean it updates it from rpms?

[Antarius]

The reason I ask is that I had just "perl" in my exclude list and I had perl-CPAN updated today through yum. I hope it broke nothing.
