i don't think so since, first, i don't know that there's any such
*thing* as an IPC::Run rpm.  more importantly, checking the
dependencies of the cvsweb rpm gives me (in part):

/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/usr/bin/perl
config(cvsweb) = 0:3.0.4-0.fdr.1
cvs
httpd
perl >= 0:5.006
perl(Cwd)
perl(File::Basename)
perl(File::Path)
perl(File::Spec::Functions)
perl(File::Temp)
perl(IPC::Run)
...

note that the dependencies seems to clearly show that it understands
that this is a *perl* module with "perl(IPC::Run)".  so the rpm
command seems to understand we're not talking about a regular rpm
here, which is understandable.

oh, i understand that, believe me.  but i have to believe there has to
be a clean way to do this without forcing anything.
