Shouldn't this be perl(XML::Parser), and not a hardcoded package name? The
reason for this is that (as I understand it) the perl module functionality may
be provided by another module or by Perl itself sometime in the future, and
therefore RPM would find that it would satisfy the XML::Parser module need, and
your spec file would thus need no changing.

Is there a policy of sorts on this? Packaging/Perl on the wiki doesn't mention
anything to this effect. Thanks.
