OK, thanks. As a secondary point, is the equivalence between 'perl(foo)'
and 'perl-foo' standardized or is it just a convention that might not
hold in some cases?
The 'perl(Foo::Bar)' notation for automatic generation of Perl dependencies is
derived from the actual names of the Perl Module Foo::Bar that's provided within
the .rpm package. The .rpm package name may differ. And, of course, one package
may provide multiple Perl Modules.
