=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

The date in the RPM changelog is in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

AutoReq is enabled for architecture-dependent packages so that shared library
dependencies are added.  Unfortunately, there are some Perl distributions with
hardcoded dependencies on F</opt/bin/perl> that are picked up by AutoReq.
Create an additional RPM package that provides a symbolic link from
F</opt/bin/perl> to F</usr/bin/perl> if you need to install such Perl
distributions.
