Looks like a good start for FC4 as it already integrates many fixes and modules
updates that should ease fixing some of the current perl related problems in
Fedora Core devel branch.

Check out perldelta for details:
http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.7-RC1/pod/perl587delta.pod

Hm, as with the mod_perl 2.000_00 release, questions raise if these could be
quickly integrated into the future FC4 release (along with rebuilding/updating
all current perl related packages from FC - at least as to avoid "backward
compatible" @INC pollution)... hope this could be feasible as IMHO it would make
future perl related errata releases for FC4 much less painful, leaving the patch
backporting trouble to Fedora Legacy team ;-)
