Fatal.pm is not declared as a dependency because it is a standard library shipped in the core Perl distribution. If you have Perl you should have Fatal.pm. (Similarly, CPAN packages don't typically declare a dependency on strict.pm because it comes with Perl) One exception might be if you installed Perl from a Linux distribution package and didn't install all of the required packages. For example, I think on (older?) Redhat systems you need the perl-core package in addition to perl-base.

While Redhat and some other distros may be breaking the licence agreement by splitting up the Perl distribution, all distributions should still list all their prerequisites, including those in core. (This aids in static analysis and other meta-tasks.)
