Haha, yeah, good catch!  In Fedora at least, one can use another
notation for perl libraries:

     Requires:  perl(LWP::UserAgent)

instead of the actual rpm name. ...

As Tadej pointed out in a related post, we're already using the perl(...) syntax.

The problem for (me) is on 30+ machines with different software installations, I have to answer the question ...

- which package that I have not already installed delivers the Perl LWP::UserAgent module?

and then repeat for every Perl/Python/library/executable dependency ... this is decades of pain, but I agree the dependencies should be included in the packaging wherever possible.
