I just tried a test removal of perl-5.8.5-9 no conflicts or dependency
issues resulted.  Does anyone have an idea whether the older i386
version is safe to remove, and moreover how did two versions get
installed?

BTW:  file /usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

If you sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-released-i386 update perl which
executable do you get as a default the 386 or the x64?
