+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #736612 +++

Description of problem:
The fcgi package in EPEL-6 contains embedded copy of perl Fast CGI (FCGI)
module from CPAN:
[1] http://search.cpan.org/dist/FCGI/FCGI.PL

But there already is dedicated, system perl-FCGI package, present in EPEL-6.
Thus fcgi package should depend on perl-FCGI package, rather than using its own
embbedded copy (so in case of security flaw in perl-FCGI, the fcgi package
won't need to be updated too).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fcgi-2.4.0-10.el6.src.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # pwd
../BUILD/fcgi-2.4.0
2. fcgi-2.4.0]# cd perl/
3. perl]# ls
aclocal.m4  configure     echo.PL           FCGI.PL  Makefile.PL 
oldinterface.pod  remote.PL    typemap
ChangeLog   configure.in  fcgi_config.h.in  FCGI.XL  MANIFEST     README       
    threaded.PL  version.pm

Actual results:
Own copy of CPAN FCGI module is embbeded in fcgi package.

Expected results:
EPEL-6 fcgi package uses system perl-FCGI package.

fcgi does not use but provide the perl module in a sub package fcgi-perl.
Afaics perl-FCGI needs to obsolete fcgi-perl according to these Guidelines:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Renaming_Process#Re-review_required

Since the perl-FCGI maintainer is the co-maintainer of fcgi wrt. the -perl
subpackage, I reassign this bug to perl-FCGI to take care of removing the -perl
subpackage from fcgi and addding the proper Provides/Obsoletes etc to
perl-FCGI. Also any provenpackager is welcome to perform the required changes
to fcgi-perl.

Btw. fcgi-perl exists in EPEL 5, too.
