... which RPM thinks means that you need a Perl module called v5.8.0
which doesn't, of course, exist.  This is arguably an rpmbuild bug, but
it nevertheless breaks at the moment.

If you change that to the traditional statement of "require 5.008;",
does it fix things up?

Ah, I like that better.  Let me try that.
