Paul, let's keep it all in one place ;-)
Is there an "approved" way of packaging later versions of
specific
modules that are bundled with the perl rpm? This is sometimes needed to
satisfy dependencies, particularly for legacy distros.
If there is one, I haven't heard about it. All I know is there were some
discussions on this issue on the various RedHat/Fedora mailing lists, but AFAIR
there was no (positive) conclusion.
So, for what it worths, what I do now is something like: build packages for
those updated module replacing the usual %{_mandir} (/usr/share/man) with
/usr/local/share/man, replacing %{_bindir} (/usr/bin) with /usr/local/bin, and
using vendor install for the modules.
It's nasty/ugly/bad/etc ... but it's my (bad) way and "works for me".
OFC, this way I cannot either use the stock RH/FC perl package (those missing
versions in Obsoletes being an issue).
