IIRC, libperl.so is installed by perl itself -- isn't is there?

and this is supplied by python RPM.

Both perl and python packages are among the default installation package
group of Red Hat, IIRC. I can understand that perl is uninstallable, but
python cannot thinking that yum depends on it :)

...and just a reminder: If you don't need PL/Python and PL/Perl, you
don't need to install that package.
