Description of problem: See https://openshift.redhat.com/community/forums/openshift/cannot-install-xmlparser-from-cpan User cannot deploy perl application due to a missing dependency. XML::Parser requires expat-devel to be installed in production.
Crankcase commit 650f8328 adds expat-devel as a requirement for the PERL cartridge.
The change has not been in the latest build now (devenv_1843), wait for next build to test.
Verified it on devenv_1859, add XML::Parser to deplist.txt [root@ip-10-70-73-135 functional]# rpm -qa|grep expat-devel expat-devel-2.0.1-11.el6_2.x86_64 XML::Parser is installed successfully: Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 254 bytes, done.
