Here's an old rant about the butchered state of Red Hat's "perl" package:

The solution is to install The "perl-core" package for the full perl distribution.

Wow... did it have Python or Ruby installed?

perldoc has not been part of the default installation of many Linux distributions for quite some time so I am not surprised by some core modules not making it either.

Anyway, I just created a Digital Ocean ( https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=0d4cc75b3a74 ) droplet using Fedora 20 (the don't offer 21 yet)
It does not even have Perl installed by default.

I had to run

   yum install perl

in order to have perl on the system and it indeed have not brought Digest::SHA with it, but it installed perldoc.

   yum install perl-Digest-SHA

fixed it.

It is a bit disturbing, but I am not surprised at all.

Hello,

I've encountered a strange thing (I think):
On a newly installed Fedora 21 (with minimal setup), with Perl 5.18.4, the core module "Digest::SHA" is missing.
Is that normal (meaning - required an additional RPM package) ?

I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that "Core Modules" will always be available.
Is that not the case anymore ?

Thanks!
