I attached patches to each ticket that also fixed up most rpmlint complaints for the packages.

Checked out the last three packages I found with perl modules installed in 5.8.8-versioned directories:

I then raised a tracker bug (F9_5.10_REBUILD) on perl (but assigned to myself) to keep track of all of these bugs.

The dovecot package includes the separately-versioned dovecot-sieve (which is at version 1.1.5). On Fedora 10, the new version of rpm seems to get confused by this when deciding on the name to give the buildroot directory, the result being reports of lots of files not found and lots of unpackaged files. The workaround I've applied for now is to specify explicitly the version/release for each subpackage, and ensure that the "different" one in defined in the middle of the set. I've raised Bug #456913 about this.
