--- Comment #13 from Paul Howarth <[email protected]> ---
perl-devel is a build-require, not a require, and is not only allowed, it is
required for building XS packages:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl?rd=Packaging/Perl#Build_Dependencies

Referring to the general packaging guidelines
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#BuildRequires_2), it's
recommended to add build requirements for anything a package explicitly needs
and not depend on buildroot dependencies pulling them in, as the buildroot
contents may change over time (it tends to get smaller, with less packages
included over time). Hence I have build requirements on coreutils, findutils,
gcc and make, all of which are used in the package build.
