The package went away in Fedora because it became part of perl core in
perl 5.10.0; this will also be the case in EL-6.

However, in Fedora, some of the so-called dual-lived perl modules
(which are distributed both as part of perl itself and also
independently via CPAN) are being resurrected as such, so bringing it
back into Fedora is probably worthwhile anyway.
