Just to note that rpm and yum are ready.  rpm digs into perl
code, figures out dependencies, and embeds the info in the rpm:

    $ make rpm auxexec_SCRIPTS="uip/spost docs/contrib/replyfilter"
    $ rpm -qRp RPM/RPMS/x86_64/nmh-1.6+dev-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm | grep perl
    /usr/bin/perl
    perl(Encode)
    perl(MIME::Base64)
    perl(MIME::Head)
    perl(MIME::QuotedPrint)
    perl(Mail::Field)

And it checks those dependencies when preparing to install.
yum happily installs them.
