I think they have sort of done this. For Centos 5 (and RHEL 5) there is
a simple solution. By installing in siteperl the new package will not
conflict with existing files but the new ones will be loaded before the
existing ones.

I will see if I can add a clause to the package to prevent people from
installing my repackaged perl-IO package on Centos 4 for example.

For thos who run Centos 5 and allready use rpmforge I have updated my
repository. See also: http://yum.vanderkooij.org/
