You also shouldn't install test-harness: it too is included in perl580 (as well as file-spec).
There are some 20 packages like that, which have to be fixed.

file-spec-pm is needed by another package (test-harness-pm), but maybe it is already part of perl580? Would it be ok to remove the file-spec-pm from the depends line of test-harness-pm, or will that break other things?
