The same issue will affect the grepmail update I'm just about to do as 
well. I'm not adding the perl=devel buildreq just yet until a firm 
decision on whether all modules have to BR: perl=devel is made.

It's clearly come about as a result of the perl spec cleanup during the 
merge review, but I think splitting out perl-devel at this point is a 
bit late given the number of packages that will need changing (unless as 
Ralf suggests, the hack of adding perl-devel to the FC7 buildroot is made).
