May-be I am missing something and am going to say something stupid, but IMO,
"Provide: perl(...)" should only be provided by *.pm's and not by *.pl's. 
This would mean all *.pl's should be excluded from any perl()-provides
processing in rpm, in general.

Unfortunately file seems to have severe problems ins destinguishing "perl
scripts" from "perl modules":

F20:
# file /usr/bin/automake
/usr/bin/automake: Perl5 module source, ASCII text
# file perl-5.16.3/lib/perl5db.pl
perl-5.16.3/lib/perl5db.pl: Perl5 module source, ASCII text

F18:
# file /usr/bin/automake
/usr/bin/automake: Perl script, ASCII text executable
# file perl-5.16.3/lib/perl5db.pl
perl-5.16.3/lib/perl5db.pl: awk script, ASCII text

Both results are wrong, but differently wrong ;)
