Hi, There are several packages in the AUR which provides exactly the same package as perl-libwww from extra does. Apparently, it is a pacpan related issue and therefore these packages are required by other ones. Deleting them is likely no solution as they will get uploaded again by another pacpan user.

I'm going to cc this to xyne
Thanks. This is because perl-libwww only provides libwww-perl in the PKGBUILD when in it actually provides over 50 modules/packages. I'll open a ticket on the bug tracker and then take care of the listed pacakges in the AUR. I'll post any updates here. Perhaps this would be a good opportunity to ask everyone packaging CPAN modules to at least look at the provides string generated by pacpan. It cross-references all names with their associated source files to generate a comprehensive list. Regards, Xyne
