    Just to provide more info, the problem was a bunch of man page conflicts
    on yum update when perl updated on x86_64 system. This was caused by
    erroneous install of i386 perl with FC3. Solution (unless you really
    need i386 32bit perl as someone did above):

    yum remove perl.i386
    yum update
