yum install "perl(XML::Parser)"

I tried both methods - neither one does anything (I get "Nothing to
do" for perl, perl-XML-parser and "perl(XML::parser)". I would think
that meant that they are installed, but I still get errors on them
(and others).

It's case sensitive. So that p in parser needs to be uppercase. :)

yum-builddep gnome-screensaver

Same result.

CentOS/RHEL may have an older broken yum-builddep. I know that issue
was fixed upstream in yum-utils a while back. Oh well, the price of
stability is sometimes living without some fixes I guess.

I went to http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/6/SRPMS/
and pulled down the gnome-screensaver-2.16.3-1.fc6.src.rpm

Eeek. I'd avoid mixing distros like that unless you're comfortable
sorting out differing deps. Granted, CentOS 5 and Fedora Core 6 are
pretty similar. Still, that might cause you more trouble than it's
worth.

, but after I installed it, I got this:

$ rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` gnome-screensaver.spec

I still don't know if updating will solve the issue you have, so you
may want to look more at whether it's likely to before spending a lot
of time with this.

If it were me, I'd first try rebuilding the current CentOS package to
ensure that works. After that, I'd install the source rpm, edit the
spec file to update the version, and place the updated
gnome-screensaver source in the rpm source dir. Then you should be
able to build an updated package using rpmbuild -ba
gnome-screensaver.spec.
