This is broken because perl(version) likes to play stupid games with its
versioning, and we have to use epoch to keep ordering sane. It is
currently at 2:0.74, but the perl(FOO) provides don't reflect epoch...
so:

[spot at localhost ~]$ rpm -q perl-version --provides
perl(version) = 0.74
perl(version::vxs) = 0.74
vxs.so()(64bit)  
perl-version = 2:0.74-1.fc9

That should help the Perl::MinimumVersion maintainer fix the BR.
