--- Comment #5 from Petr Pisar <ppi...@redhat.com> ---
It is and isn't. There is:
Failing to match the input argument to an existing package name based
on the patterns above, DNF tries to see if the argument matches an
existing provide.
And the syntax with parentheses falls into "provide" category. But because dnf
does not consider syntax of "provide", it's not documented in the dnf manual.
From RPM perspective the "provide" does not have any syntax, it's just a
string.
There are many "provide" symbols in Fedora packages. Just try "dnf repoquery
--provides PACKAGE" for a PACKAGE. It's not only about perl.
The perl syntax is documented in "perl" package description (rpm -qi perl) and
in the Perl packaging guide lines
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl#Perl_Requires_and_Provides).
