<p>This is a <a href="https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Base:System/rpm/perlprov-package.diff">patch</a> we apply to rpm in openSUSE. It allows the <code>perl.prov</code> script to detect new variants of Perl package declarations that have been added in recent years.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/perl/pod/perl5120delta.pod#New-package-NAME-VERSION-syntax">Perl 5.12</a> we got version numbers as part of the package declaration.</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-perl"><pre><span class="pl-k">package</span> <span class="pl-en">Foo</span> 1.0;

<span class="pl-k">package</span> <span class="pl-en">Bar</span> v1.0.0;</pre></div>
<p>And in <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/perl/pod/perl5140delta.pod#package-block-syntax">Perl 5.14</a> we got the package block syntax.</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-perl"><pre><span class="pl-k">package</span> <span class="pl-en">Foo</span> {...}

<span class="pl-k">package</span> <span class="pl-en">Bar</span> 1.0 {...}

<span class="pl-k">package</span> <span class="pl-en">Baz</span> v1.0.0 {...}</pre></div>
<p>We noticed this problem recently because <a href="https://metacpan.org/source/RJBS/Dist-Zilla-6.009/lib/Dist/Zilla.pm#L1">Dist::Zilla</a>, a popular Perl module, started using a version number as part of the package declaration and <code>perl(Dist::Zilla)</code> could no longer be resolved.</p>
