As discussed in
	[Bug 679014] rpmbuild: Perl excessive auto-Requires
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679014

there is no need for autodetection.  CPAN packages already provide their
"requires" list:
Gtk2-GladeXML-1.007/META.yml:
requires:     
    ExtUtils::Depends:             0.300
    ExtUtils::PkgConfig:           1.000
    Glib:                          1.020
    Gtk2:                          1.000

which is IIRC generated from Makefile.PL, where one can also find the
"provides" list using ExtUtils::MakeMaker.  This should be resolved by perl
maintainers.

Jan
