Hello.
I want to test something, and I need to block every single perl update pacman or yaourt wants me to do.
How can I say to pacman I DON'T WANT to see perl packages to be updated ?
Something simpler than a line like :
IgnorePkg = perl cairo-perl glib-perl gtk2-perl perl-locale-gettext perl-text-iconv perl-xml-twig perl-xml-simple perlxml
Thanks.

Unless all these packages are in a perl group or something (which I doubt), I think the only way is what you did, a long IgnorePkg line.
But why don't you want to upgrade perl?
If there are problems with these updates, did you check all the bugs were correctly reported?
pacman roulette : pacman -S $(pacman -Slq | LANG=C sort -R | head -n $((RANDOM % 10)))

It is all documented in the man pages...
--ignoregroup <group>
or
IgnoreGroup = group ...
in /etc/pacman.conf
[edit]
well, this obviously only works when they all belong to a particular group, as shining just told you

Because in [testing] it kills gnome system tools
And I want to go to [testing] because I want to live on the bleeding edge

Ok, but you skipped the most important part : where is the bug report ?
