Hello Kanwar,

The requirement 'perl(script)' apparently is added because it's used in the 
file Test-Inline-2.205/lib/Test/Inline/Content.pm . You can check this 
with '--filerequire'. Apparently Test::Inline::Content provides some kind of 
API with methods with a default implementation which should be overridden. 
The default implementation of the method  'process' contains 'use script;'  
and a call to this method will clearly fail when it's not overridden. I've 
added a filter for the perl requirements to the spec file so this useless 
dependency is removed. I've also added a spec file for perl-File-chmod so 
perl-Test-Inline should be installable.

kind regards,
Dries
