Dan,
Thanks for pointing that out. I had not sufficiently thought through the consequences of dropping support for 5.8.0. I'll add back the Replaces/Conflicts in my various packages as you suggested.
Good news about the perl man versioning, too. I approve of the idea. I'm guessing installing a version of Perl will also add a profile.d entry to append a perl-versioned dir to the init.[c]sh manpath?

Testing is good! However, we have to be careful not to break upgrade paths when removing perl-versions. When a Type: perl subtype "XXX" is removed from the .info repository, users may still have that package's foo-pmXXX* set installed. That means we need to keep the various Replaces/Conflicts against that once-but-no-longer-present XXX set in whatever XXY sets remain.
OTOH, we've cooked up a new filysystem layout for perl modules that will mean all the man3 for all perl-versions of a -pmXXX can coexist. That will mean the -man splitoff will no longer be needed for most perlmod packages. Details to follow when we finish figuring them out:)
In the mean time...

Need to keep %{Ni}580-man in those fields, since that package did exist at one point.
