Start if from terminal and post the output here.

drakrpm
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libDrakX/auto/c/stuff/stuff.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr

Ok after a full upgrade using urpmi the drak* tools are working again.

But it's not very nice if you update some packages and after that the Gui tools for installing RPM Packages aren't working.

Maybe we should fix that before Mageia 2 Release so we are able to do a full upgrade from Mageia 1 to 2 ??

A botched update/upgrade is a botched update/upgrade, and in this case it was a perl upgrade, urpmi does prioritise and update itself, rpm, perl, glibc... etc first, judging by the fact the urpmi from terminal worked.

But when there's a major (perl in this case) upgrade, you can't cherry pick updates, you have to get them all or some stuff will barf like you saw; in this particular case it was a flaky mirror (seeing your thread on the -dev ML).
