Provides: perl(main)
Hi,
I just tripped several perl-packages in Fedora, which
Provide: perl(main)
AFAIS, most of them originate from perl modules using
package main;
somewhere in their code.
I am inclined to consider letting rpms "provide: perl(main)" as
packaging bug (perl(main) should better be filtered out for them),
but am not sure about it.
A quick check on my FC4+FE4 systems reveals these packages:
# rpm -q --whatprovides 'perl(main)'
mod_perl-2.0.1-1.fc4
perl-MIME-tools-5.417-2
perl-HTML-Tree-3.18-3
latex2html-2002.2.1-3
perl-Parse-RecDescent-1.94-5
perl-5.8.6-22
