I'll take them. The changes between 2.20 and the versions in EPEL-6 
(2.15) and EPEL-5 (2.08) all seem to be bug-fixes, compatibility fixes 
for later perls and build system changes, none of which should affect 
compatibility. Also, 2.20 builds and passes its test suite OK in both 
EPEL-5 and EPEL-6.
