to simply perl/Tk. Is it safe to assume when searching or yum'ing a package that just the package name and perhaps up to the release version would apply in a majority of cases?

Yes. It's usually just the package name.

yum list | grep name

is a favorite. Or

yum list > yum.lst

then

grep <name> yum.lst

if I'm on a slower link.

yum list fragment*

works too (yum list perl*)
