OK, builds fine and rpmlint is quiet.

You don't need "BuildRequires: perl" but it doesn't hurt anything to have it.

Note for others who may check for BuildRequires: needed for the perl-devel
split: this module doesn't build like a regular module and has a custom
Makefile.pl which doesn't make use of the regular Perl build infrastructure.

Yes, this package does at least try to use MD5 at some point although it will
use an internal implementation if the module isn't available.  At least
according to my reading of src/mdx.pl.

The only issue at this point that concerns me is the name of the package.  Our
naming guidelines indicate that packages should be named according to how
they're carried in CPAN, but of course this module isn't in CPAN.  According to
CPAN rules it wold be called perl-LW2, but that seems somewhat suboptimal as
well.  Frankly I favor the current naming, but before I approve I'll gather a
couple of other opinions.
