Per http://perldoc.perl.org/Locale/Language.html, Locale::Language is part of the core distribution of Perl, but this module is missing from perl-5.14.1-188.fc16.i686. This prevents e.g. checksetup.pl in Bugzilla from running correctly.
Now is Locale::Language part of sub-package perl-Locale-Codes. Your problem will be fixed by installation of this sub-package. I'll reassign this bug to bugzilla, which should require it.
So you make the assumption that all installations with Perl applications depending on this core module will have perl-Locale-Codes installed. This is a pretty bad guess. The goal of having core modules is to have them installed and available by default. Why has this module been extracted from the core package, to start with?
If you are using perl core modules, you should install perl-core: A metapackage which requires all of the perl bits and modules in the upstream tarball from perl.org. If it was up to me everyone have to use perl and all core modules. But not everyone is interested. For example in buildroot is needed only perl, not all core packages. Another reason why we split perl into sub-packages is, updates of core modules. We already have this discussion even with upstream. We can't make everyone happy with Perl packaging.
I see, thanks for the explanation. In that case, Bugzilla should depend on perl-core, to make sure we don't fail every time a core module is put outside the perl package.
The recommended way is to depend on `perl(Locale::Language)'. Each perl code exporting a Perl module `Foo' provides `perl(Foo)' in Fedora. This allows to track dependencies even if Perl modules moves between RPM packages. Actually you should get these dependencies into RPM metadata automatically by rpmbuild.

FWIW, most distributions do not install the full core suite when you install the package containing /usr/bin/perl. (In reply to comment #5) > > Actually you should get these dependencies into RPM metadata automatically by > rpmbuild. Doing a mock rebuild, I realized that rpm's auto-requires mechanism doesn't add perl(Locale::Language) to the package's requires so I'm guessing that rpm doesn't add modules that are require-ed as opposed to use-d. I'll commit a fix.
