--- Comment #2 from Petr Šabata <psabata@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
It'd be helpful if you posted the list of these dependencies.  My guess is
these are dual-life perl core modules, i.e. modules sub-packaged from perl or
updates to them from separate packages.  These are integral parts of the perl
distribution and often depend on each other.  We've been sub-packaging more and
more of them in the past months so that could be why the list of dependencies
appears to be quite long now.  Although it's the same content that was shipped
with the single `perl' package in the past.

What's interesting, however, is if and why libperl.so needs the whole perl
distribution.  I would guess the library should work on its own, hmm.  Perhaps
the MODULE_COMPAT dependency could be dropped...
