[Rpm-maint] Patch for bug in /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req

[Brian Elliott Finley]

This patch addresses an issue in perl.req, where it matches on "use" or
"requires" lines within a multi-line print statement, such as:

     print << "EOF";
     Usage:  $progname [OPTION...] [--auto-detect | controller1 controller2...]
     
          Options can be abbreviated to minimum uniqueness.  For example, you could
          use "-h" or "--h" instead of "--help".
     
     EOF


Which results in something like this:

     [$] /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req.orig my_perl_executable
     perl(-h)
     perl(File::Basename)
     perl(Getopt::Long)
     perl(strict)


Which ultimately results in an RPM dependency that cannot be satisfied.
;-)


Cheers,

-Brian
