I agree that all of these look suspicious.

That's the idea.  But the set is slightly bigger, you have to add
- perl-devel (requires ExtUtils::MakeMaker)
- perl-CPAN (download and build modules from CPAN
- perl-Module-Build: we are in perl, so TMTOWTDI:
  ``Module::Build is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl
  modules. It is meant to be an alternative to ExtUtils::MakeMaker.''

This type of problem seems to appear too often, so you are probably
right that such a check is needed..
I'm not sure where it should be hooked to, though.

Have a nice day,
