On properly packaging perl

EPEL is great, but doesn't have everything. For example, the RHEL5 version of sudo spits out an infuriating error message if auditing is not available; the bug is fixed in the Fedora 11 version, which builds and runs fine on a RHEL5 machine.

Just to clarify, EPEL is a add-on repository and by policy, wouldn't have updated versions of sudo since that would conflict or override packages in the base OS. What it would have instead, is packages not available in RHEL.
