Ough. The thing about perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_...) is not true. I saw hyphen,
a capital letter, and version and I imagined that it's -Mversion. No. The
"perl -V" does not need the version module.

So no, you don't have to build-require perl(version) for computing
perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_...) symbol.

Regarding putting a perl dependency into perl-srpm-macros: I would like to see
more sophisiticated and helpful macros there. However I also would like to see
a posibility to expell the perl from the minimal build root. The less packages
are needed there the better for portability, bootstrapping, maintenace etc.
