[Fedora-packaging] Perl package guidelines and filtering provides/requires

[Richard W.M. Jones]

The Perl packaging guidelines are big on the need to filter provides
and requires using some complex shell scripting:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Perl

I'm reviewing some Perl packages which don't do this.  Furthermore I
grabbed 10 approved Perl specfiles from CVS and only 2 of them
(perl-Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple and perl-Class-MOP) actually did
it.

So is this packaging requirement real?

Rich.
