Created attachment 532316 [details] Patch to /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req to fix the issue Description of problem: /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req scans for the opening brace type on lines, but then only scans for closing curly braces ('}') instead of the proper losing brace type when that closing brace occures on a different line. This means that any use/require statements that occur after the multi-line q{} statement but before the first closing curly brace in the file will be ignored. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-build-4.8.0-16.el6_1.1 How reproducible: Run /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req on any perl module that uses something other than curly braces for a q{} across multiple lines when there are use/require statements after it but before a closing curly brace. Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/lib/rpm/prel/req /usr/lib64/perl5/B.pm 2. 3. Actual results: perl(Exporter) perl(XSLoader) Expected results: perl(Exporter) perl(XSLoader) perl(strict) Additional info: This appears to exist going back to at lest RHEL5, possibly earlier, and results in incomplete auto-generated Perl dependencies when building RPMs.
