The three modules in question appear to be packaged in perl-5.8.1-91. So,
at least, in the 0.95 release of Severn, they've been repackaged for
whatever reason. I don't imagine that it will change when Fedora Core 1
is release Real Soon Now. They've been bundled in the main Perl
distribution for a while now, so I guess Fedora is just catching up.
