When that happened to me, it was the result of inadvertatly switching from a plain profile to a "desktop". Switching back to a plain profile eliminated a lot of "bloat" packages for which I had no need. I think the perl stuff is probably legit. IIRC, they recently split up some packages and/or added some virtual packages for things that had more than one implementation. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! Sign my PETITION. at gmail.com
