For Fedora/RH-based systems, the trend tends to be increasing granularity and having more optional packages. So I think documenting Net::SMTP (and Net::Domain) as requirements would still be good, perhaps with a note stating they're typically installed with Perl. Fwiw, I recently ran into some issues where core modules such as Devel::Peek, Encode, and autodie were separate packages on CentOS 7.
