Shell session showing attempted installation of package that depends on
perl-Sub-Exporter

Description of problem:
A number of Perl packages in EPEL depend on the Sub::Exporter module, but no
package containing that module is available from EPEL or from standard RHEL
repos.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Sub-Exporter

How reproducible:
Easily reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to install perl-Sub-Exporter-Progressive (or any module that depends
on Sub::Exporter, such as perl-Const-Fast) via Yum
2. An error message indicates a dependency on perl(Sub::Exporter) which cannot
be satisfied

Actual results:
The desired package is not installed

Expected results:
The package and its required dependencies are installed

Additional info:

I have attached a copy-paste of a shell session showing the exact error message
from Yum, along with an appropriate whatprovides search showing that no other
package contains the module in question. I had initially filed a bug against
perl-Const-Fast, which is what I was originally trying to install that depends
on perl-Sub-Exporter; that bug report was number 922222. The (former)
maintainer of that package closed that report and suggested I file against this
component instead and you can read his update in the other report for more
details. Thanks.
