Overriding core modules...

Hello,

autodie is a core module.  It was not present in perl-5.10.0, but it
is in current maint-5.10 branch (version 1.998).

IMHO core modules should not be packed in Fedora; they should be
updated in perl.spec instead.  (There are some hints about that at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Perl/perl.spec )

Fedora users can override them in on individual installations by the
means of sitelib, of course.  (Now when the order is site,vendor,core
again.)

I have updated to autodies-1.999 in perl-5.10.0-64, to appear soon in
rawhide and F-9 and F-10 testing updates.

Cheers,
