Interesting work... perhaps could you include the new FC1 updates and 
FC2 standard perl virtual provides, perhaps commented out?  This virtual 
provides should always ensure binary compatibility in current and future 
FC issued perl packages against perl modules.  (If not, it is either a 
bug, or deliberate conflict and modules need rebuilding.)

Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_%(eval "`%{__perl} -V:version`"; echo 
$version))
