General problem is that usually not all required Perl rpms are available 
from a "well known" repo. So, you are likely going to miss a few and have to 
install these manually (for instance by unpacking Jules' rpm), anyway.
If Dag is going to make sure that all the necessary Perl rpms are also 
available this would be great and you could indeed use yum for MailScanner 
updates in the future. Quite welcome.
