Period. If the recent re-discoverer of the perl bug (Vipul Ved Prakash) had been using RHEL (and hence had a support contract) he may have had a more direct recourse to getting it fixed, notwithstanding Red Hat's (current) low priority on the bug. Instead of moaning about it on his blog, he would have had the right to raise a stink with Red Hat directly.

None of that changes the fact that if the CentOS perl is straight from RedHat, and that is where the bug originated, it is a RedHat bug. If the bug originated within Perl HQ, RedHat coped it, and CentOS copied RedHat, it would be a Perl bug. If CentOS modified what they got from RedHat and thereby introduced the bug, it would be a CentOS bug.
