Today due to https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/pull/285 we pull openvswitch onto the host for OpenShift and this transitively drags in perl because of at least: ``` $ head -1 /usr/bin/rxe_cfg #!/usr/bin/perl $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/rxe_cfg libibverbs-26.0-8.el8.x86_64 ``` We'd like not to ship perl (or any interpreters) on the host system to avoid people depending on them. https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/blob/master/Design.md#approach-towards-shipping-Python

This bug was opened for Fedora-Rawhide. But RHEL-8 package was installed.
