Well, it's the optional packages that bite back with RPMs.  Because
nothing is optional with RPMs.  At compile time RPM runs a script which
attachs a dependency to anything that could ever possibly be invoked
from the installed files.  Which, in reality, probably isn't a bad
thing.

These aren't a problem since I believe they are provided by Red Hat in a
default configuration.  Ah, here we go:
$ rpm -q --info perl-libwww-perl-5.65-6 | grep ^Packager
Packager    : Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla>

These I'm having trouble finding.  So, either they didn't get picked up,
are provided in some other Perl RPM, or I installed from CPAN (and the
RPMs are going to fail to install ;-).  But, the last scenario is the
one I'm interested in knowing about.  Most of the CPAN modules are
trivial to package as RPM.

I may try installing RH9 RPMs to my laptop later today and see if it
works and/or says anything is missing.  Maybe there's some RPM query I
can run to see if all the dependencies are met by RPMs.  If nothing else
I could write a shell script to figure it out.
