Sure... I'm wondering if contrib is the right place for those packages.
Maybe a separtate are should be created for the "old-perl" packages.
Just
take the cooker src.rpm's compile them with a system that has the old
perl
on it, and place them there... That way the bugs get taken out of those
packages (they stay on the same development level as the cooker
packages) and the old-perl-people get their packages....
But there are some other packages besides the perl related ones... out
of the top of my skul: roxen ?
