Resolution

None of the mentioned packages are dependencies for UIM and can be safely removed or upgraded.

In some rare cases, custom probes might be developed on Perl but in these cases, UIM provides its own perl libraries.

You can check on the system in question whether the following folders exist;

/opt/nimsoft/perl
/opt/nimsoft/perllib

If these are present then UIM is using its own self-contained perl libraries.

But these would not be installed on the system, and so they would not appear in the rpm -qa results.    There would be no impact to UIM related to the given Perl packages.
