That's not a CPAN-related problem - you have an old Dag rpm installed,
and apparently yum can't tell that it's the same package that you're
trying to install (if it could, then it would simply replace the old
file with the new one).

I'd suggest "rpm -e --nodeps perl-Unicode-Map", then try installing from yum.
