Unfortunately true.  And the list will be different with older/other 
distros.

The elegant way of fixing this would be to have an accurate list of 
provides for the core Perl RPM, but that's not going to happen.

I haven't tested it with a repo that has those modules available.  I 
suspect yum won't like overwriting part of the core Perl RPM.
