Qi, according to the comments in the perl_5.38.2.bb recipe, perl-modules
recommends "all the other perl packages" which might include optional packages.
I assume leaving optional packages as "runtime recommended" (RRECOMMENDS) -
aka. soft dependencies - can reduce the possibility of conflicts.
Can we change the perl recipe to simply use 'RDEPENDS' for perl-modules?
I don't see what benefit the 'RRECOMMENDS' could give us.

Qi

Agreed. I don’t see a compelling reason to add the perl-modules-force-all
complication. This will add confusion in my opinion.
How about simple depending on specific module packages? I don’t think
OpenSSL truly needs all modules.

Change the openssl-ptest RDEPENDS from perl-modules to
perl-modules-force-all which RDEPENDS on the same set of packages
perl-module-* recommended by perl-modules. So, when openssl-ptest is
added via COMPLEMENTARY_GLOB "ptest-pkgs", its dependencies on these
perl-module-*
