I, personally, have never observed this bug.
I was just willing to solve it and I came to the conclusion that it was not a
bug in perl, since perl-5.8.8-17.fc7 requires libperl.so.

Actually, I do not have the resources for a fresh install currently.
And I do not have a suitable machine for experiments either.

I made some experiments on my oldish Fedora 6 with yum-3.0.6-1.fc6 (yum
--enablerepo=development upgrade perl) and it found out correctly that perl-libs
has to be installed.  (This slightly differs from Comment #12; I was able to
twist yum that is was going to update perl only:
Updating:
 perl                    i386       4:5.8.8-22.fc8   development        10 M
Installing for dependencies:
 perl-libs               i386       4:5.8.8-22.fc8   development       566 k
Transaction Summary:
Install      1 Package(s)
Update       1 Package(s)
Remove       0 Package(s)
)

I'm setting NEEDINFO, in case someone else is able to reproduce this.
