xCAT 2.17 package installation failed with perl dependency in RHEL 9.4

[Kratika-P]

I am currently facing an issue with the installation of the xCAT 2.17 package due to missing Perl dependencies in RHEL 9.4. These dependencies are not included in the xcat-dep repository but are available in the EPEL 9 repository.

For RHEL 8, all Perl dependencies are either part of the xcat-dep repository or the OS repository (i.e., AppStream or BaseOS).

Could you please let me know if there are any plans to include the Perl package dependencies from the EPEL 9 repository in the xcat 2.17-dep repository(i.e. xcat 2.17 official release)
