Spec URL: http://hpejakle.fedorapeople.org/packages/perl-Getopt-Long.spec SRPM URL: http://hpejakle.fedorapeople.org/packages/perl-Getopt-Long-2.38-1.fc11.src.rpm Description: The Getopt::Long module implements an extended getopt function called GetOptions(). This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command line options, with GNU extensions. In general, this means that options have long names instead of single letters, and are introduced with a double dash "--". Support for bundling of command line options, as was the case with the more traditional single-letter approach, is provided but not enabled by default.

Getopt::Long is part of perl core; however I'm holding off on any action here pending what comes out of the discussion going on over in the fedora perl devel list.
I'm sorry, I did not check if it is already as part of core, I did check pkgdb and yum (which for yum install perl-Getopt-Long, did not find anything) which discussion? you mean about dual lived modules which was raised by Marcela?
Indeed, it would be Marcela's dual lived modules thread. But you've inadvertently raised a point that we've overlooked - not all core modules have their own sub-packages. As it stands, a separate perl-Getopt-Long rpm would conflict with the existing files in the core perl rpm itself. Back to the list for some more discussion.
Anyway in perl-5.10.1 is the same version (2.38). Do you still need it? Perl-5.10.0 contains 2.37.
