[svk-devel] make test fail with svk 1.99_04 on mandriva cooker

Hi.

While trying to update the svk rpm of mandriva, i faced a error during the 
make test :

After searching a while, i found that some modules are not here :

Warning: prerequisite File::Spec 3.19 not found. We have 3.12.
Warning: prerequisite File::Temp 0.17 not found. We have 0.16.

Given the fact they are in core for 5.9, and perl 5.8 still has older version, 
does that mean that i will have to wait on perl 5.10 to be able to use svk 
without fiddling with the system perl ? 
Having to package a external and newer version of two core modules File::Spec 
and File::Temp is going to be tricky, and I prefer to avoid that.

Are the test error linked to the missing modules ?
