Compress::Raw::Zlib no longer installed with Perl on Fedora 30?

Since this appears to be a new issue, I am wondering if one of the Fedora maintainers on this list can confirm this and perhaps when the change may have occurred. If this is correct and not a Perl installation issue or other error, I may need to add this Perl module to my CRAN package moving forward. Thanks, Marc Schwartz
Hi, A quick follow up pending confirmation. In the course of a search this morning, I found the following page: https://fedora.pkgs.org/30/fedora-updates-x86_64/perl-5.28.2-436.fc30.x86_64.rpm.html which, if I read correctly, would indicate that perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib is indeed required by the Perl RPM, so should presumably be installed by default, with Perl. It is not clear to me if there is a Fedora 30 install/upgrade scenario where perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib would not be present, but would defer to those with the relevant knowledge. Thanks for any insights. Marc
