amavisd-new and sqlgrey both use this.

Indirect depencency for several things.

perl-Cache-Cache dependency.

perl-Module-Build dependency.

perl-Imager build dependency.

Indirect amavisd-new dependency (via spamassassin).

perl-Pipeline and perl-IO-All dependency.

Indirect dependency for cpanspec and amavisd-new.

perl-BerkeleyDB and perl-IO-All build dependency.

cpanspec, perl-CPANPLUS, and various others...

perl-Module-Install dependency.

Various build dependencies.

Various build dependencies.

perl-HTML-Mason and perl-Spoon build dependency.

Nearly everything requires these now...

perl-Text-Reform dependency.

Those are all of the obvious ones (and their dependencies).  In
addition...

Paul Howarth should probably take that.  It's used by
Perl-Crypt-SmbHash.

It looks like rt3 is the main user (or at least one of the big users)
of these.
