Basically -- it's the new process for updating dual-lifed dists.  (e.g.
Test-Simple ships both bundled with core Perl, and on the CPAN, so it has two
lives).

The key things to keep in mind here:
* Files should be installed to "perl" (aka core) not "vendor"
* The dual-lifed dist should already be broken out into a subpackage of the
"perl" package.
* perl_default_filter should be used
* packages must be upgradable by core when the core perl's package is upgraded
and includes a newer version of the dual-lifed dist
* The core "perl" package maintainers must have access to update the package,
and perl-sig must be on CC.

This is still a very new change to the updating policy...  Discussion is always
welcome on the fedora perl mailing list (or here, but the mailing list seems
easier for it :))
