Many recipes uses pod2man to generate manpages from an almost human-readable source format, which is part of the perl recipe.
This means that we have recipes that don't install manpages, or more accurately don't install manpages if built from clean but _do_ if they are a rebuild (because do_package -> rpm-native -> perl-native means the sysroot now has pod2man in). The obvious fix here is to DEPEND on perl-native but that an often look like a redundant dependency that can be removed as removing it doesn't cause problems (I'm fairly confident I'm responsible for patches like this). So, add a PROVIDES of pod2man to perl, so that recipes can DEPEND on pod2man-native and this dependency is both obvious as to it's purpose and easily removed if the manpages change source format.
