My FC6 was updated just before migrating to FC7 a couple of weeks ago.  Not
certain exact yum versions in FC6, but yum was at the most recent FC6 version as
of the end of July 2007.  I did a network update to FC7, since I do not have a
DVD drive.  

After the upgrade to FC7, I had to replace my old yum.conf and
fedora-updates.repo to newer files with the extension "rpmnew". This opened the
door to many new FC7 updates, but did not resolve the perl dependency problem.

I also tried to remove perl and ignore dependencies (rpm -e --allmatches
--nodeps perl) and then reinstall perl (yum install perl).  But again, the
dependencies were ignored.  Therefore I just manually installed them after
learning they were missing.

Hope this helps.
