Assuming you have a default configuration, if the dependency is not in 
the "update" archive up2date will check the "distribution" archive; 
for example one mirror source for a "distribution" archive is at:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/1/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/

where you'll find perl-TimeDate-1.1301-5.noarch.rpm
