oh, thanks
Build-Requires: perl-ExtUtils-Embed rubygem-minitest
would do the same without special chars, no idea why
things are done the hard way here and there
perl-ExtUtils-Embed and
perl(ExtUtils::Embed)
are not the same thing:
* perl-ExtUtils-Embed refers to a package named "perl-ExtUtils-Embed"
* perl(ExtUtils::Embed) refers to the perl module providing
"ExtUtils::Embed".
As perl modules may move between packages at any time, there is no
strict connection between a perl module and a package (which happens to
temporarily provide a module).
That said, it's Fedora perl-packaging convention not use perl packages
but to use perl module names for BuildRequires/Requires/Provides.
Furthermore, rpm automatically adds many (theoretically all)
Provides/Requires based on perl modules.
