Perhaps perl-net-smtp-ssl should be mentioned as an optional dependency rather than perl-io-socket-ssl? The official documentation mentions dependency on Net::SMTP but that is provided by the core/perl package, which doesn't mention that it does. I've raised a separate bug report for that.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/79421

The io-socket-ssl package is a dependency for the net-smtp-ssl package. For what it's worth, the Alpine package for git-send-email also lists perl-net-smtp-ssl as a dependency instead of perl-io-socket-ssl.

Why? Are you saying the ArchWiki entry [1] is wrong? Either the dependencies work or they don't. If they currently work fine then I'm failing to see what your suggestion achieves. What Alpine does is irrelevant here.

Sure, makes sense. If it works fine, then this report can be closed.
