No differences except for the list of rpms that is to be installed.

Note that apache 2 and mod_perl 1.99_X _DO_NOT_ work correctly

We have custom built mod_perl 1.2X to work under Fedora (Mainly you
need to be running perl 5.8.3 for it to work)


Thus the mod_perl_1 package above, and the conflicts with apache
greater than 2.

We also have customized the build of
- perl-Authen-Krb4
- perl-HTML-Parser


We also suggest gnuplot 4.0 since with that we move away from needing
gif support in GD or anywhere else.

The rest of the CPAN modules rpms are builds straight from CPAN.
