CentOS - Apr 2006 - dag repo and perl dependencies naming

Hi

I'm trying to install amavisd-new from dag repo on centos3.
In the spec file perl dependencies use parenthesis: perl(Digest::MD5)
it also uses '-': perl-MailTools

The problem is that only the second notation is available: perl-MD5

I know this is an old problem. Is this only centos related?
Is there a workaround?

Do I have to modify the spec file? I'd like to use yum...

Regards

I use amavisd-new as well.

I ran into some Per modules missing when using Dag.  I switched to
using RPMForge, which is a merger of Dag, Dries, and maybe one or two
more.  Since then I have not had the problem.

YMMV
