Warren suggested I look at perl-Net-DNS, and from it I arrived at:

# In the spec file itself
Source1:        filter-requires.sh

%define __perl_requires %{SOURCE1}

# Here is the filter-requires.sh script
#!/bin/sh
 
echo $* > /tmp/filter-depends.cmdline
/usr/lib/rpm/perl.req $* | grep -v -e MQSeries -e Jabber

This seems to build correctly (IE, just the requires I was expecting)

Jeremy - what the pros/cons of __perl_requires vs what you have?
