dependency problem with my (first) RPM

[Mattia Verga]

Hi Dario,
In my opinion your first
'Requires: Perl'
is not needed, because you already applied the right way of require Perl 
with

Requires:       perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_%(eval "`%{__perl} -V:version`"; echo $version))


You can take a look to specfiles of other Perl modules and take them as 
example (for example take a look to the source of Perl-Ace at 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=390648 )

Bye
Mattia
