The EPEL documentation specifically says to enable CRB/PowerTools if you're using EPEL: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#how_can_i_use_these_extra_packages NOTE for RHEL 8 users with certificate subscriptions: EPEL packages assume that the 'codeready-builder' repository is enabled. You can do this with: subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-$(arch)-rpms" NOTE for CentOS 8 and CentOS Stream 8 users: EPEL packages assume that the 'powertools' repository is enabled. You can do this with: dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools Whilst that is for EL-8 I don't see why it would be different for EL-9. In particular, for interpreted languages like perl there are a large number of runtime dependencies from EPEL packages to packages in CRB.
