It is even the best to look what package owns it:

# pacman -Qo /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 is owned by perl-exiftool 6.61-1

I can't say what the problem is but here i have both installed without any
problem so you can try this:

1. pacman -Sy
2. pacman -R perl-exiftool
3. pacman -S kdebindings
4. pacman -S perl-exiftool
5. pacman -Su

If you have the package abs installed than you can search which PKGBUILD have
perl-exiftool inside:

# find /var/abs -name PKGBUILD | xargs grep perl-exiftool

You will see than that none package have it in the depends array so step 2
from above must be on the safe side.-)

See you, Attila
