Thanks, Karl, for the quick explanation of the tlmgr search paths.
I've tracked down the problem: /usr/bin/perl and /usr/local/bin/perl
are both
perl 5, version 12, subversion 2 (v5.12.2)
However, the latter was built on Red Hat 4, two months before I
upgraded the box to Fedora 14.
The solution is this:
mv /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl.bad
ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl
The curious thing is that tlmgr worked for a couple of weeks after the
upgrade. However, I'm not going to worry about that, now that a
workaround is clear.
After that change, the routine tlmgr update succeeded.
