This is a [patch](https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Base:System/rpm/perlprov-package.diff) we apply to rpm in openSUSE. It allows the `perl.prov` script to detect new variants of Perl package declarations that have been added in recent years.
In [Perl 5.12](https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/perl/pod/perl5120delta.pod#New-package-NAME-VERSION-syntax) we got version numbers as part of the package declaration. ```perl package Foo 1.0; package Bar v1.0.0; ``` And in [Perl 5.14](https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/perl/pod/perl5140delta.pod#package-block-syntax) we got the package block syntax. ```perl package Foo {...} package Bar 1.0 {...} package Baz v1.0.0 {...} ``` We noticed this problem recently because [Dist::Zilla](https://metacpan.org/source/RJBS/Dist-Zilla-6.009/lib/Dist/Zilla.pm#L1), a popular Perl module, started using a version number as part of the package declaration and `perl(Dist::Zilla)` could no longer be resolved.
