... and lots of others

The perl-Perlilog package had a "provide" of perl(UNIVERSAL), which triggered this long list. The dependency checking script has not taken into account that the main perl package also provides perl(UNIVERSAL) and so the orphaning of perl-Perlilog is not as big an issue as it appears.

I have submitted an update to perl-Perlilog that has filtered out the bogus provides, to mitigate this problem in the future.
