 checking for intltool >= 0.18... 0.34.1 found
..

# rpm -ql intltool | xargs grep XML | grep require
/usr/bin/intltool-extract:    my $ret = eval 'require XML::Parser';
/usr/bin/intltool-merge:    my $ret = eval 'require XML::Parser';
/usr/bin/intltool-merge:    my $ret = eval 'require XML::Parser';
/usr/bin/intltool-update:"xml(?:\\.in)*|".      # http://www.w3.org/XML/ (Note: .in is not required)
/usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4:   if `$INTLTOOL_PERL -e "require XML::Parser" 2>/dev/null`; then
/usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4:       AC_MSG_ERROR([XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool])
/usr/share/doc/intltool-0.34.2/ChangeLog:       of intltool that require the XML::Parser perl module
/usr/share/doc/intltool-0.34.2/ChangeLog:        needed to merge XML files, so do not require it when building
/usr/share/intltool/intltool-extract.in:    my $ret = eval 'require XML::Parser';
/usr/share/intltool/intltool-merge.in:    my $ret = eval 'require XML::Parser';
/usr/share/intltool/intltool-merge.in:    my $ret = eval 'require XML::Parser';
/usr/share/intltool/intltool-update.in:"xml(?:\\.in)*|".        # http://www.w3.org/XML/ (Note: .in is not required)

=> intltool uses perl(XML::Parser) as a mandatory plugin all over the
place (Note the AC_MSG_ERROR).
