Hi,

Can this package please be fixed? It causes a breakage when one tries to update to fedora 18 using yum. 

Thanks,
Ankur

From Parse::RecDescent:

"Until version 1.967003 of Parse::RecDescent, parser modules built with Precompile were dependent on Parse::RecDescent. Future Parse::RecDescent releases with different internal implementations would break pre-existing precompiled parsers."

Source: http://search.cpan.org/~jtbraun/Parse-RecDescent-1.967009/lib/Parse/RecDescent.pm

This feature is experimental though. I have asked upstream for a clarification.
