:Core perl does not need Tk. So perl58-5.8.1-1jv is obviously
:some bundle...
I'd guess that it because of these:
./lib/Pod/Perldoc/ToTk.pm: use Tk;
./lib/Pod/Perldoc/ToTk.pm: use Tk::Pod;
The others I assume are generated only under MacOS:
./utils/perlbug.PL: require Mac::InternetConfig;
./lib/Net/Config.pm: use Mac::InternetConfig;
./lib/CPAN.pm: require Mac::BuildTools if $^O eq 'MacOS';
I don't see this as a significant problem, but I guess it would be useful
if we could find a way to help out automated dependency checkers.
