I would agree.  I have the same behavior in a Redhat 8 development
system, so it's not a problem with the Centos build.  I have not added
any repositories other then the Redhat
codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms. I original installed 8.0 and
have applied all updates.  I did not notice the problem until recently.

# dnf list installed | head -20
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Modular dependency problems:

 Problem 1: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides module(perl:5.26) needed by module perl-DBD-SQLite:1.58:8010020190322125518:073fa5fe-0.x86_64
 Problem 2: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides module(perl:5.26) needed by module perl-DBI:1.641:8010020190322130042:16b3ab4d-0.x86_64
