indeed.  So it seems the messages were almost right:

> perl-XML-Grove.noarch: W: doc-file-dependency
> /usr/share/doc/perl-XML-Grove-0.46alpha/examples/my-html.pl
> perl(XML::Parser::PerlSAX)

> perl-XML-Grove.noarch: W: doc-file-dependency
> /usr/share/doc/perl-XML-Grove-0.46alpha/examples/visitor.pl
> perl(XML::Parser::PerlSAX)

Had it mentioned perl(MyHTML) and perl(MyVisitor), respectively, the messages
would have named the problem.

But the "rpmlint -i" hint says that it helps to clear the exec bit of the
files.
This is not true, the bit is cleared, yet the dependency generator brings in
the wrong provides.

Should I fight against the dependency generator somehow? gzipping the examples,
rot13-encoding, renaming them, clearing the #! line or whatever... ???

Or is it enough to file a bug aginst the buggy dependency generator?

To sum up, I still apply for the approval of the package in its current state
in the cvs.
