Sorry for keeping you waiting for quite a while. I've had a chance to test building an RPM tonight, and this does not seem to affect the output (the perl manpage is already installed in /usr/share/man/man3), so I'd say this is probably safe to apply.

For people who do private installs, the path is changed from $prefix/man/man3/ to $prefix/share/man/man3 (where $prefix is typically set to $HOME), but all the other manual pages are installed in $prefix/share/man/man[1-7] anyway, so this change cannot hurt.
