| For some reason yum perl updates on Fedora 8 cause this to happen for
| me.  Even though CPAN reports that you have the latest version of
| Scalar:Util, you will still need to download, compile, and install
| Scalar-List-Utils-1.19.tar.gz.  This should resolve the issue for you,
| at least it has worked for me the last few perl updates.

I found out this also works:

~ $cpan
~  force install Scalar::Util
- --
