While building RedHat 8.x and 9.x RPMs for 5.8.1, I got the following
message from RPM during install of the RPMs:

  error: Failed dependencies:
     perl(Mac::BuildTools) is needed by perl58-5.8.1-1jv
     perl(Mac::InternetConfig) is needed by perl58-5.8.1-1jv
     perl(Tk) is needed by perl58-5.8.1-1jv 
     perl(Tk::Pod) is needed by perl58-5.8.1-1jv
     perl(v5.6.0) is needed by perl58-5.8.1-1jv

Apparently, some core modules need (require, use) non-core modules. 
While not stricktly speaking a problem, it may be something to
consider enhancing.
