That hardly counts as a perl module package otherwise it would ahd
been named perl-perl ;)
Well, it is a perl module package, it has several perl modules inside of
it. The main module in this case is called "CORE", but there is also
a .h file in the Encode module (also inside perl).

I would separate discussion of the perl package and the rest. But even
if perl itself were to be split in perl and perl-devel, Matt's mass
rebuilds would let the packages surface that need a change from BR:
perl to BR: perl-devel.
Well, I'm trying to review the core perl package, and part of that has
been a near total spec rewrite. I need to know whether I should add a
perl-devel or not.
