We know this, these are always manpages. We could remove the manpages for
the modules that are included with perl. But until now we decided it is a
good thing to not replace a 'base' perl module (given the complexity to
debug it).
So the only "solution" would be to not offer them.
I really don't see this as a problem.
Or set man pages as separate rpm's.
No, that could become very ugly. We could create a new macro that is set
for RHEL5 which forces the man-pages to not be installed when the module
also ships with RHEL's perl.
However I fear people are going to accidentally update their base perl
modules by RPMforge modules without knowing/understanding...
