[rt-users] Delete Perl?

[Dale J. Chatham]

Potentially dangerous, but, ...

rpm --nodeps --force -ivh <list of packages>

You might want to run rpm -ivh against a package to see what the 
dependencies are to get the list of packages.

rpm -e package.rpm will remove the package.  It will also tell you the 
dependencies.  Perl is intertwined around everything almost, so the list 
will be long.
