The perl dep isn't the problem for xfce, this is: 

% ls -lah laughlin-backgrounds-gnome-13.92.0-1.fc14.noarch.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 2 537 537 4.3K Sep 14 20:16 laughlin-backgrounds-gnome-13.92.0-1.fc14.noarch.rpm
% ls -lah laughlin-backgrounds-gnome-14.0.0-1.fc14.noarch.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 2 537 537 23M Oct 13 22:31 laughlin-backgrounds-gnome-14.0.0-1.fc14.noarch.rpm

+23MB for everyone. :( 

I guess I get to figure out how to remove that... but it seems to be
pulled in by various deps. ;(
