List of core Perl modules missing after installing Fedora 41

Description of problem:

When I did a fresh install of Fedora 41 on a new computer, many core Perl
modules and programs were not installed. I have a fairly complete list of
modules that I generated with a Perl script (see attachment). I don't have a
complete list of Perl core programs, but I do know that perl5db.pl is missing.
You can't run the Perl debugger without perl5db.pl.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Perl v 5.40.0

How reproducible:

I only did a fresh install of Fedora 41 once. The problem occurred. I don't
have the resources to reproduce the problem on other computers.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a fresh installation of Fedora 41.
2. Search the following directories for the modules listed in the attachment:

  /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.40
  /usr/local/share/perl5/5.40
  /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl
  /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl
  /usr/lib64/perl5
  /usr/share/perl5

For perl5db.pl, type "which perl5db.pl" or look in all the directories in your
execution path for a file of this name.

Actual results:
perl5db.pl and the modules are not found.

Expected results:
perl5db.pl and all the modules are found.

Additional info:
For a discussion of what constitutes a core Perl module, see
https://www.perl.com/article/what-is-the-perl-core-/. This article confirms
that Fedora has a long-standing problem of omitting core Perl modules.
