+>
+>    $ urpmf --requires :perlapi-5.12 | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u
+>
+> there are 364 of them at the time of speaking. and of course some of

+> to rebuild one of those binary packages:
+>    1- wait for blino to announce perl 5.14.0 availability
+>    2- check out the package
+>    3- bump mkrel in package spec file
+>    4- mgarepo submit
+>    5- if build fails on bs, then it's likely that a missing binary
+>       module is missing: proceed the missing package
