"cpan" and "git svn" brokens

Hi,

I don't know how, but it seams I managed to broken my perl / git svn install while updating :

DeepThought% cpan
Attempt to reload Scalar/Util.pm aborted.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/Safe.pm line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/Safe.pm line 4.

I tried to reinstall the packages git, subversion, perl, and cpre, but it don't solve it.
I read it could be related to C implementation of some stuff used by perl script that needs to be recompiled, but I don't know which.

Any advice / explanation on what's happening?

Not a pacman issue, moving to Apps & DEs...

Re: "cpan" and "git svn" brokens

Thanks to users on #archlinux, I managed to solve this problem.

First, I removed[1] with

yaourt -Rdd package_name

all packages with perl-*, and perl / pcre. Then, I checkell all remaining packages that has stuff in /usr/lib/perl15 with

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/perl15

. Then, I uninstalled those packages with also -Rdd.
After that, I flashed the cache with

pacman -Scc

, and removed all remaining files in /usr/lib/perl15.

And to finished, I reinstalled all those packages with

yaourt -S

.

And it worked

[1] I had lots of stuff that depended on perl, like llvm, ghc, etc. I made custom install (compiled ghc by hand and installed it) and replaced some files from the ghc package, so I don't wanted to reinstall it. "dd" means do not check dependencies.
