In virtually all of these cases, the right thing to add as a buildreq is

Yes. But intltool is included in some (a lot of?) packages so...
Adding intltool as a
buildreq will automatically pull in XML::Parser.
...will add a package as buildreq that's not used at all during build.
Maybe I should have mentioned here...

"So adding
BuildRequires: perl(XML::Parser)
is IMHO the better solution"

...because I fail to understand what you want to tell me with:

Seems you didn't get what I was up to. Seems I didn't explain it well. This...

Adding BuildRequires: perl(XML::Parser) to packages using intltool is
non-sense, because BuildRequires: intltool must already pull in
perl(XML::Parser). If this doesn't work, intltool's packaging is broken.

...of course is correct if the external intltool is used. But if the packages includes intltool already then
BuildRequires: perl(XML::Parser)
avoids the installation of one unnecessary BR (because the systems intltool is unnecessary in this case).

But as I said: It doesn't matter that much. So let's stop this thread here.
