As a zealous perl programmer, your comment made me curious.  It turns
out the problem is with yum, not perl.

Here are a couple bugzilla links with more details:

Bugzilla Bug 250476: yum: (more) kdesdk/kdebindings, perl(DCOP) pain
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250476

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252461

According to the comments on the first bug report there is a fix, not
sure if that has made it out of updates-testing yet.  So, you could
either get the new yum that fixes the problem or remove kdesdk if you
do not need it.

Cheers,

Mike
