We excluded some scripts delivered in binary `perl' package from
scanning by automatic Provides-generator. The scripts defines `Carp'
perl module internally what fools the generator to export it as
`perl(Carp)' dependency symbol.
Without the fix, `perl' package declared it provides Carp module on RPM
level, which was not true on Perl code level, so while yum got satisfied
with `perl' package, none Carp module was installed into the system and
that made other Perl code using the Carp module, like autconf, unhappy.
