Here goes a list of outdated perl modules in Rawhide.  A good place
to start is the perl Time::HiRes core module and the standalone one
(more information below). I can also help reviewing some of the bugzilla
perl entries, in particular the ones I created.

Note: The core module Time::HiRes in perl 5.8.[456] is more
       recent than the one packaged as a standalone module
       (perl-Time-HiRes 1.55).

         5.008005       1.59

        available in Fedora.us/extras repositories

QA packagers can't validate these tarballs (CPAN only has .tar.gz files
and some .zip files):
