Hi Phil,
	I had the same problem on FC6. After some googling I found this package via 
pbone:
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/reb00t.com/fedora/6/perl/perl-Config-Std-0.0.4-1.n0i.2.v0.0.4.noarch.rpm

It seemed to do the job. IIRC I think it required the perl-version package as 
well, but that one is in extras or core so no problem there.

I agree with you though, it is painful to deal with perl packages on 
fedora/redhat if you are trying to do things "the distro way" by sticking to 
rpms. If anyone has tips on how to manage this (just installing via cpan 
isn't really "managing" it) I'd love to hear them - hopefully there is some 
trick to using cpan to magically create rpm's or something :-)
