Yes, they should definitely be built from the main spec and the same source
rpm, since they're all in the same source tarball. If naming is the only issue
here, then simply use '%package -n perl-pcp-something'. The -n says "don't
prepend the main package name to this". Do teh same for %description, %files,
etc.
