1) IIRC there are plans to disallowed this in the future (no docs with execution
permissions). Even rpmlint already warns about requirements being pulled in by
doc files:

    W: perl-Curses doc-file-dependency ...

2) Right now the only way to avoid the requirements pulled in by perl modules 
(.pm files) shipped as doc is to filter them out.
