That's not all.  There are other packages that include perl support that
will break (or autoconfigure out perl support unexpectedly).  IIRC one
example is net-snmp.

The best way to come up with a list probably is to see all the binary
RPMs that depend on perl or a perl module.  Not all of them need
perl-devel to build, but I'd bet most of them do.  A quick look at
rawhide/i386 finds over 100 packages that don't have perl in their name
that require perl.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
