Description of problem: I ran into some minor packaging issues with perlxstut Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.12.1-128.fc14 How reproducible: n/a Steps to Reproduce: 1. n/a 2. 3. Actual results: perlxs docs are part of perl perlxstut docs are part of perl neither perl nor perl-devel require perl-Test-Simple Expected results: perlxs docs are part of perl-devel perlxstut docs are part of perl-devel perl-devel requires perl-Test-Simple Additional info: 0) While following perlxstut I discoverd Test::More wasn't installed. It turned out that Test::More is provided by perl-Test-Simple (which is only required by perl-core). 1) This command seems to list perlxstut's requirements: $ man perlxstut | grep " \+use .*;" use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; [...] use ExtUtils::testlib; [...] use Test::More tests => 4; use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; [...] Basically that's ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Test::More. 2) For perlxstut one also needs h2xs. h2xs and friends are part of perl-devel. 3) It seems that both the perlxs docs and the perlxstut docs should be shipped as part of perl-devel and that perl-devel should require perl-Test-Simple or perl(Test::More). 4) Feel free to ask me to provide a (trivial) patch to perl's specfile.
In manual is mentioned Test::More, but you can use for your xs files different test-suite or don't test at all. I'd rather don't require it. perlxs* docs will be moved into perl-devel in next rebuild of perl package.

The perlxs* PODs and manual pages belong to perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS package. Upstream moved them there in Perl 5.16 <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/3214bedba346419c3021faa94d16724f686829cd>. I will correct their location in Fedora too.
