Really? I'm pretty sure I recall the RPM build failing when they
changed that. (But it's possible that the regression test step is what
failed, I don't remember.) I'd think I'd have heard about it if there
were a missing runtime dependency.

BTW, Andrew was wondering *why* Fedora isn't bundling these anymore.
The CVS logs mention something about versioned perl, so it's possible
that they had to split out some modules to support multiple Perl
installations cleanly.
