I don't think this is a CPAN problem, as yum is reporting a conflict  
between two packages. Stuff installed directly through the CPAN shell  
is not part of an rpm package, so yum cannot possibly know anything  
about it. Looking at your output it seems you have a conflict between  
two perl-Unicode-Map packages; one for Fedora Core 2 from Dag's  
repository (perl-Unicode-Map-0.112-0.1.fc2.dag) and one from Fedora  
Core 5 (perl-Unicode-Map-0.112-7.fc5).

Are you running FC5 or FC2? If you're running FC5 you should probably  
also update your Dag info to point at his FC5 repository or remove  
the Dag channel completely and uninstall package perl-Unicode- 
Map-0.112-0.1.fc2.dag and then install FC5's version (if you need  
package perl-Unicode-Map at all that is).
