--- Comment #1 from Ralf Corsepius <rc040203 at freenet.de> ---
What I can gather from this mess, is that there is a dependency between 
perl-IPC-Cmd and perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker which is (correctly!) pulling in
perl-devel.

>From IPC/Cmd.pm:
...
    require ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

    my @possibles;

    if( File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute($command) ) {
        return MM->maybe_command($command);

    } else {
        for my $dir (
            File::Spec->path,
            File::Spec->curdir
        ) {
            next if ! $dir || ! -d $dir;
            my $abs = File::Spec->catfile( IS_WIN32 ? Win32::GetShortPathName(
$dir ) : $dir, $command);
            push @possibles, $abs if $abs = MM->maybe_command($abs);
        }
    }
...

maybe_command originates from MakeMaker. 

One resolution to this problem would be to eliminate this use case of
"maybe_command" in perl(IPC::Cmd).
