perldoc has not been part of the default installation of many Linux
distributions for quite some time so I am not surprised by some core
modules not making it either.

Anyway, I just created a Digital Ocean (
https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=0d4cc75b3a74 ) droplet using Fedora
20 (the don't offer 21 yet)
It does not even have Perl installed by default.

I had to run

   yum install perl

in order to have perl on the system and it indeed have not brought
Digest::SHA with it, but it installed perldoc.

   yum install perl-Digest-SHA
fixed it.

It is a bit disturbing, but I am not surprised at all.
