INSTALL: warn about recent Fedora breakage

Browse Source 
Recent releases of Redhat/Fedora are reported to ship Perl binary package
with some core modules stripped away (see http://lwn.net/Articles/477234/)
against the upstream Perl5 people's wishes. The Time::HiRes module used by
gitweb one of them.

@ -83,7 +83,11 @@ Issues of note:
- "Perl" version 5.8 or later is needed to use some of the
features (e.g. preparing a partial commit using "git add -i/-p",
interacting with svn repositories with "git svn"). If you can
live without these, use NO_PERL.
live without these, use NO_PERL. Note that recent releases of
Redhat/Fedora are reported to ship Perl binary package with some
core modules stripped away (see http://lwn.net/Articles/477234/),
so you might need to install additional packages other than Perl
itself, e.g. Time::HiRes.
- "openssl" library is used by git-imap-send to use IMAP over SSL.
If you don't need it, use NO_OPENSSL.
