[Centos] Perl wierdness.

Ok, trying to install amavisd-new from Dag.  Getting into a lot of
problems, all of which seem to stem from Perl dependency issues.  I have
built several of the required modules by hand, but then got down to
perl-MIME-tools.  It builds FINE, but will not install.  Why?

Turns out, the perl RPM 'provides' perl(MIME::QuotedPrint)=3.01 but the
module itself is 3.03.  Build a perl module against MIME::QuotedPrint and
you get a Requires:perl(MIME::QuotedPrint)>=3.03, which fails on
installation.

CentOS 4RC1, perl-5.8.5-12.1
