Right up until an update for Perl itself is pushed - and then you will
find all your packages gone. If you need to tweek, use cpan2rpm to
generate rpms. I've generally found the issues are tied to man files -
so if you suppress the man file generation in the spec and stick with
perldoc for a module's documentation you can generally work around the
conflicts.
