This is not specific to perl related packages. e.g.

[tasaka1 at localhost ~]$ rpm -q --requires gtk2 | grep libg
libgailutil.so.18  
libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0  
libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0  
libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0  
libgio-2.0.so.0  
libglib-2.0.so.0  
libgmodule-2.0.so.0  
libgobject-2.0.so.0  
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0  
[tasaka1 at localhost ~]$ rpm -q --provides gtk2 | grep libg
libgail.so  
libgailutil.so.18  
libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0  
libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0  
libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0  
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0  

This occurs when a library in a package requires another library in
the same package. I guess perl-NOCpulse-Object has similar internal
dependency.
