I tend to agree, because one cannot do "use main" or "require main"
in
perl code -> nothing should depend on perl(main). So, wouldn't it be
good if rpmbuild wouldn't emit that at all? RFE and patch:

A quick check on my FC4+FE4 systems reveals these packages:
# rpm -q --whatprovides 'perl(main)'
mod_perl-2.0.1-1.fc4
perl-MIME-tools-5.417-2
perl-HTML-Tree-3.18-3
latex2html-2002.2.1-3
perl-Parse-RecDescent-1.94-5
perl-5.8.6-22
Will fix MIME-tools, thanks. repoquery on Rawhide confirms the above
findings and adds some others:
latex2html-0:2002.2.1-5.1.noarch
js-0:1.5-0.rc6a.6.i386
perl-Gtk2-0:1.102-1.fc5.i386 (reported in Bugzilla)
