+ The release of Fedora 27 brings a change in the way that the Perl core modules are packaged by Fedora. In Perl, the core modules are the standard set of modules that ship with the Perl interpreter. Previously in Fedora, the Perl core modules were split into a number of subpackages in such a way that installing the `perl` package did not install the full set of Perl core modules. This behaviour was not what was expected by most Perl users and so, from Fedora 27, installing the `perl` package now installs the full set of Perl core modules. It is still possible to install only a minimal Perl interpreter by installing just the `perl-interpreter` package.
