Looks like the maintainer of that RPM is
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Cweyl according to
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4381

You might try contacting him/her and asking for an updated package. 
(Note the Amazon wishlist!)

Failing that, using the .spec file from the last SRPM along with the
tarball from the latest release would be a good first attempt.  If that
doesn't produce good results, I'd try cpanspec
(http://cpanspec.sourceforge.net/) as my understanding is that it's used
extensively by the Fedora Perl packagers.
