Hi all,

Mark and I discussed putting an explicit dependency on the
perl-PCP-PMDA package on the (core) pcp package.  See the
attached patch, for example.  Something similar will also
be done for the new python sub-package (if it turns not to
not be simpler to just include that in the pcp rpm).

This will remove one class of entirely-avoidable dependency
issue (for the >20 perl PMDAs in pcp) - since perl & python
are always installed on modern Linux distros, we couldn't
foresee any issues.

Anyone have any thoughts/concerns?

thanks!
