Nice top post.
And thanks for tossing my email address to the world, too.
And thanks for the well-researched response.

Sorry, I'm just cranky right now.

EPEL != ( SL || CentOS)

389 DS is not part of the distro so this isn't the problem. 389 has 
interesting perl dependencies which are not simple to resolve because 
they don't live in the codebase released by RH (Mozilla NSS LDAP API 
stuff, etc). Unless someone knows a better way, or if I get to the 
bottom of the issue and there's a better solution, this may require some 
Fedora-package magic to prevent pulling perl packages on top of existing 
repo rpms and things through cpan (for servers with nothing installed is 
there even a clear cpan dependency progression from -nothing- to having 
Mozilla::LDAP::API?)...
