This is a
[patch](https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Base:System/rpm/perlprov-package.diff)
we apply to rpm in openSUSE. It allows the `perl.prov` script to detect new
variants of Perl package declarations that have been added in recent years.
In [Perl
5.12](https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/perl/pod/perl5120delta.pod#New-package-NAME-VERSION-syntax)
we got version numbers as part of the package declaration.
```perl
package Foo 1.0;
package Bar v1.0.0;
```
And in [Perl
5.14](https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/perl/pod/perl5140delta.pod#package-block-syntax)
we got the package block syntax.
```perl
package Foo {...}
package Bar 1.0 {...}
package Baz v1.0.0 {...}
```
We noticed this problem recently because
[Dist::Zilla](https://metacpan.org/source/RJBS/Dist-Zilla-6.009/lib/Dist/Zilla.pm#L1),
a popular Perl module, started using a version number as part of the package
declaration and `perl(Dist::Zilla)` could no longer be resolved.
