We also use the magic perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_x.x.x) tag even in noarch
packages, which I imagine will need to change.
So, from a couple quick queries off yum list on my laptop (which will
be slightly skewed -- I have ~10ish perl rpms installed not yet in
Fedora):
642 noarch
172 x86_64

814 total
I suspect we can ease the pain by coordinating a mass rebuild here,
and just kicking off the rebuilds centrally. (e.g. an annointed
Rebuilder In Chief)
