perl-Test-Simple = 0:0.94-2.fc14 *is* in the repository but it's not the latest
version there. The report probably stems from running repoclosure with the
"newest" option.

This will probably show up quite often where there are dual-lived perl modules
that are built both as part of the main perl package and as separate packages
from the CPAN distribution. In this case the version built from the main perl
package is newer, but it doesn't include the "tests" subpackage.

It would make sense to either ship the tests with the main perl package
version, or not ship them with the CPAN version to avoid this problem in
future.
