I can't find any perl module by that name, but it doesn't really
appear to be the package name anyway. It should be though shouldn't
it? How might I track this dependency down without a name.
Install the rpmdb-fedora from rawhide and:
rpm -q --redhatprovides 'perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.4)'
You'll see that perl provides this.
What use is this reference and what does it point to?
It is to make sure that you install the version of perl that is
necessary for that compiled package. It dumps perl modules into the
file system and the installed perl must be able to load them.
