Updates of core modules were sometimes hard and we used this approach 
few last releases: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Perl/updates#Updates_of_Perl_core_modules
It should be working in rpm, but I wasn't aware of koji problems.

I suppose that now we can live without dual life modules, because Perl 
modules in core are updated more often. But I'd rather discuss it with 
Perl SIG members before any action.
