Couple of things :

[kbsingh@mx2 RPMS]$ rpm -qp --provides perl-5.8.5-12.1.i386.rpm | grep 
MIME::Quoted
perl(MIME::QuotedPrint) = 3.01

so the rpm does report 3.01, however looking at the pm itself :


-- snip --
require Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw(encode_qp decode_qp);

$VERSION = "3.01";

use MIME::Base64; # will load XS version of {en,de}code_qp()

-- snip --

it would appear that the rpm is correctly reporting --provides.

you might want to check back and see what is coming through from Dag's 
repo.
