Yes, it is unfortunate that the automatic perl dependency detection does
not exclude everything but the perl module directories. It should at least
exclude the documentation directory.

What we usually do to avoid detecting dependencies from /usr/share/doc is
to disable the execute bits on files in those included
(example) directories.

A real fix should go into RPM, which upstream does not want to touch.

Also see:
	/usr/lib/rpm/perldeps.pl

For now I will modify the README.ACEBROWSER to get rid of this dependency.

Thanks for the feedback,
