On my Fedora box I occasionally use grepmail. Recently I went to use it on my CentOS 7 mail server and found I had not installed it. Surprisingly (to me) I did not find it in the repositories.
Grepmail is a perl script and uses several perl modules. I copied the executable from the Fedora box and installed a missing module from the CentOS 7 repos. Seems to work.
However the CentOS perl modules are older versions than the executable uses on Fedora. I'd prefer the executable and modules were tested together. Have I missed grepmail in any CentOS 7 repos?

Worth a try in cases like this is download and rebuild the Fedora rpm on CentOS 7. The first attempt listed some missing dependencies but after I installed those from the CentOS repos, the package built without errors:
rpmbuild --rebuild grepmail-5.3111-10.fc34.src.rpm
