you should subscribe to the CentOS listit's multiple times explained there that there is *no support* fort older releases and especially not for update specific packages without update the rest of the system
"perl-5.8.8-43.el5_11.x86_64" is part of 5.11 this is completly untested and unsupported < CentOS 5.11CentOS is a LTS distribution and you are expected to *always* do a *full* yum upgrade - you have chosen a LTS distribution to avoid ABI/API changes and so you should trust your distributor (in fact RHEL as upstream) to know *why* they rollout updates of specific packages and that they don't without a good reason (critical and/or security relevants bugfixes)
again: with update specific packages from 5.11 to < 5.11 systems you are *completly* o at your own
