As an addendum, i'd like to note that in a previous conversation with 
Dan Pritts on this topic, he mentioned the following :

« My read of site_perl vs. vendor_perl was that site_perl was truly 
local.  If I'm rolling RPMs for my own use site_perl is fine but for 
something that's getting distributed more widely it seems wrong to use it.

As I look at it more closely, though, cgi.pm et al are installed in the 
main perl directory, not in vendor_perl - the real problem is the man 
pages.  Which, as you point out, is easy enough to handle. »

This is a good point, and is worth considering if Sympa chooses to 
produce any sort of libs package to help RHEL / CentOS users...
