Same with the recent perl upgrade, which requires spot and others make a
number of source level changes at at the very least rebuild all the perl
packages.  This was accomplished using an 'on the side' repo within
Koji, and an agreement ahead of time to not mess (too much) with perl
packages while the building was ongoing so that the whole mess could be
tagged over to rawhide in one shot instead of weeks of breakage.
