Yeah, it has its benefits. Debian isn't that bad either if it still has
to be Linux. :o)

That's a really good point and I thank you for mentioning it. I'm trying
to stay in line with what might later be available from upstream or Epel
and that'll probably be something with dependencies as crazy as the
Type::Tiny from FC35.

But to just get a build environment I might indeed build a barebone
Type::Tiny that just uses Exporter::Tiny.

That's true. For stuff that we use in our own scripts it is a good
solution, but perhaps not for building other RPMs that have these
dependencies. Still: cpanm or cpm are great tools that make Perl quite
portable.
