Most perl module packages can use a common spec file across all
branches, except this is now broken in devel since perl-devel is
needed to build even noarch perl-based packages. So Ralf isn't
updating perl modules in devel until this is resolved, with the result
that updated packages in branches for older releases have higher EVRs
than the equivalent packages in devel. I'm doing likewise for the
moment.
If we retroactively add a 'Provides: perl-devel' to versions of perl in
older distributions, will that help?
