Description Bruno Wolff III 2015-06-04 19:29:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
perl 18 in f21 works, but perl 20 in f22 doesn't.
This program fragment is enough to trigger the error:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use utf8;
use locale ':not_characters';
use open ':locale';

The error issued is:
Can't locate encoding.pm in @INC (you may need to install the encoding module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/share/perl5/open.pm line 77.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./test.pl line 4.
Comment 1 Bruno Wolff III 2015-06-04 19:47:35 UTC 
/usr/lib/perl5/PerlIO/encoding.pm exits, but /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/encoding.pm doesn't on f22.
On f21 (x86_64 instead of i686) both /usr/lib64/perl5/PerlIO/encoding.pm and /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/encoding.pm exist.

/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/encoding.pm is supplied by the perl-encoding package.
Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2015-06-05 06:24:07 UTC 
Thank you for the report. I was suspecting something like this could happen, but I could not recall which exact perl module triggers this.

It's because `open' module requires various modules conditionally. We will fix it.
Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2015-06-05 09:03:14 UTC 
Minimal reproducer is:

$ perl -e 'use open q{:locale}'

I will sub-package the `open' module to make perl free from deprecated `encoding' with the Filter orchestra.

Then installing `perl(open)' will ensure the `encoding' module is available.
Comment 5 Petr Pisar 2015-06-05 11:21:55 UTC 
The fix will be pushed into F23 after finishing perl-5.22 bootstrap.
