I am not happy about this as well.

Case sensitive:
# yum install Perl-xml-parser
No package Perl-xml-parser available.
  * Maybe you meant: perl-XML-Parser

Case insensitive:
$ yum list Perl-xml-parser
perl-XML-Parser.i686
$ yum search Perl-xml-parser
perl-XML-Parser.i686 
perl-XML-Parser-Lite-Tree.noarch

The reason we tell people there is another is b/c there are lots of situations
where bad packages cause problems.

Case in point:

yum install mysql-server

is NOT the same as

yum install MySQL-server

sadly.
