Just a note: perldoc may need an explicit BuildRequires

I've been fixing a few of my packages which FTBFS in the grand
rebuild.  A common theme I'm seeing is packages that need
/usr/bin/perldoc which (a) is no longer included in the base package
set and (b) is no longer included in the base 'perl' package.
I suspect that (a) happened because of (b).

Anyway, you may need to add an explicit dependency, eg:

BuildRequires: /usr/bin/perldoc
or
BuildRequires: perl(Pod::Perldoc)
