It depends on the content of your package. Yep, and that depends on whether your module packages were built using a perl that has these features enabled or not. My guess is that they're probably not too relevant nowadays and could be ignored; I find it unlikely that a perl without support for threads or large files would appear in FC any more, and for what it's worth, unlike threading and large files stuff, PerlIO support is already hardcode-enabled in the FC perl specfile. Note: for a definite answer, consult the current FC perl maintainer and maybe the previous one (Chip Turner). -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
