The biggest one is that the build/install part of building the package
will accidentally overwrite real system files. This is a Very Bad
Thing, and can *really* screw things up if you're building on the system
you're going to install on; you may end up overwriting something you
really didn't want to overwrite.

This would be nice, but it would also be incorrect. <g>
Those Perl modules are named as-is, for whatever reason it was, and
changing the capitalization will Break Things. I don't recall any
particular problems building any of those modules myself.
