I can get around this by adding Provides: tags for the "missing" packages, but it seems to me that perl.prov ought not to scan for package statements. It should just use the things that 'use' statements actually care about - the filenames themselves.
This is just based on your description, but does Perl also care about explicit package names inside a .pm? If I don't have a 'use' statement but just call foo::bar::method, would Perl load foo/bar.pm? What if I did 'use foo;' and then called foo::bar::method, and foo.pm defined the package foo::bar, then wouldn't Perl avoid loading foo/bar.pm? In which case Perl did care about more than the filename. So it seems perl.req should look for 'use' AND calls to explicitly named package methods, and perl.prov should look at filenames AND explicit package statements. Please comment--I'm not familiar enough with Perl module handling to be confident in what I'm suggesting. -frank _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
