Sure, but that "Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8)" should only be in
packages that install files to /usr/lib*/perl5/[...] . If other packages
have it, the likelihood of a packaging bug is pretty high I think, but
nevertheless they do need a rebuild, understood.
But surely not *everything* in the distro that depends on perl needs a
rebuild? Eg. stuff that just needs /usr/bin/perl or installs some *.pm to
their application specific paths and nothing to perl's paths (and nothing
that links with libperl.so)?
