Oracle Linux Server release 8.4

There is some weirdness in the update for OL8. When I check for updates I see the following packages

perl-Carp.src 

perl-Exporter.src

perl-File-Path.src

perl-File-Temp.src

perl-Getopt-Long.src

perl-HTTP-Tiny.src

perl-Pod-Escapes.src

perl-Pod-Perldoc.src

perl-Pod-Simple.src

perl-Pod-Usage.src

perl-Term-ANSIColor.src

perl-Term-Cap.src

perl-Text-ParseWords.src

perl-Text-Tabs+Wrap.src

perl-Time-Local.src

perl-constant.src

perl-parent.src

perl-podlators.src

None of the above packages are installed. I can work around it by adding --disablerepo=ol8_appstream but I wondering why I see them at all.
