I think Fedora's perl (and the rest of the distribution for that matter)

Rawhide, so as to avoid problems like:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/712943
Changed the BR: of db4-devel to libdb-devel is sufficient to achieve
this, and the resulting perl does pass its test suite.
I was told by libdb maintainer that db4 will be replaced by libdb.
Rebuild of all dependencies or everything will be needed, so those bugs
shouldn't occurred. I guess he will drive the whole change and rebuild.
When did the libdb maintainer say this? The new libdb has co-existed
with db4 since F15 and still the majority of Berkeley DB users in Fedora
are using db4.
Anybody else have any opinion on this?
Marcela, is RHEL-7 built consistently against the same libdb version or
is this mixing of versions going to be a problem throughout its entire
lifecycle?
Paul.
I'm not allowed to discuss it on public list.
OK, fair enough. I trust RH is on top of the issue though :-)
