Jos, You are correct. Carp::Heavy is provide by Perl so to fix the dependency I can probably add a Provides to my spec file. But the other modules are not included, so I guess the question is when you are building a RPM for the Perl interpreter are there any special switches you should throw so that it doesn't check dependencies in the normal way.
