Matthew: never EVER touch my /usr/local with packages! That's the least
GoodThing FHS "establishes" ;-)

Back on track, no, not (only) perl.

If we would stick to the "subject", placing those man pages into a
"%{_mandir}/manp/" would be enough to leverage the files conflict.

Yes, I know it's just (another) workaround (with its own pros/cons), but at
least it will (quite) work with the default man.config.

IAE, this is not "THE" (real) issue. (As always) many workarounds (filed as
"bugs" on the same bugtracker we're currently watching) are being filed just
because our packaging system doesn't support "this" or "that" feature (and the
main reason why some of our fellow developers "fallback" to other packaging
systems - like [dq]pkg). IAE - yes, again - as this is not a "generic" boutade
(and we're not on mozilla's bugtracker), I'll stop here with an "Happy Easter" ;-)

As memento, don't touch /usr/local, it's one of the GoodThings RedHat/Fedora's
guidelines stick to. :)
