OK, removing the executable flag works only on proper perl scripts. If
the file is a perl *module*, this won't help, since the relevant bits
of code from /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires don't care about
permissions, but rather about the '.pm' extension:
#
# --- Add perl module files to perllist.
for f in $filelist; do
[ -r $f -a "${f%.pm}" != "${f}" ] && perllist="$perllist $f"
done
So, the only way to prevent the package from depending on perl would
be to rename the .pm files in contrib. I could do this, but it feels
like there should be a better way.
