I ran yum update and it downloaded and installed perl i386 AND perl x86_64. I thought "great"... but then...

Am I supposed to have both the i386 and x86_64 perl packages installed? My system is of course a CentOS 5.3 64 bit system.

Never really thought about this before =)
 
There is no reason for that.

ok, i have some stuff excluded in the yum.conf and i thought that perl had to be excluded when using directadmin.

this is my yum exclude list:

exclude=apache* httpd* perl* mod_* mysql* MySQL* da_* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* bind-chroot*

if that is the case then thanks for letting me know.
 
Just wanted to give an update that I went ahead and removed the i386 version, and everything is working fine. Just out of curiosity I also told it to remove the x86_64 version and it wanted to also remove most of my system, so it appears everything is linked to the 64bit one anyway.
