warning: could not get file information for usr/share/perl5/....

During my update today I got several warnings concerning perl.
If I remember correctly I'm getting some of those warnings every time I update something perl-ish.
A few months ago I thought it would be a good idea to delete

/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl

and rsync my backup in there. As it didn't help I think it wasn't such a good idea.

Is there any way to repair my perlinstallation or do those warnings don't matter in any way?

Here is the log of the update I'm talking about:

No, it wasn't a good idea. Now pacman knows nothing about those files.

Don't paste selectively truncated logs, paste the entire thing or don't bother: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Thanks for your answer, I appreciate that.
Okay, now pacman doesn't know nothing about those files. Is there any method to make him know again?
