Done.

The method I'm using is preferred as per the wiki; see:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-b4fdd45fa76cbf54c885ef0836361319ab962473

You're right, fixed

Agreed... I wasn't sure of an appropriate name, so for now it's perl-Apache-RPC.
   If there's another way to name it that makes more sense, let me know! :)

There is a warning about a missing XML::LibXML, but only to inform the user this
will be required under RPC-XML v0.60.  Other modules required in Makefile.PL,
that aren't in the spec, are part of the core perl package  (ex: Cwd, and
File::Find).

This mock builds on 8 and devel i386 for me, without issue.  Additionally, it
scratch built in Koji for me:

F8: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=518717
F9: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=518727

Is there something specific you noticed in building that I'm overlooking?

At any rate, the package/subpackage version is now available here:
Spec URL: http://nboyle.fedorapeople.org/perl-RPC-XML.spec
SRPM URL: http://nboyle.fedorapeople.org/perl-RPC-XML-0.59-4.fc8.src.rpm

I've never really worked with the whole subpackage business, so please look over
that with extra scrutiny ;)
