Is that package available somewhere online?

Curious indeed.  I tried adding this to the top of perl-Net-SSH.spec in
Extras devel branch in CVS:

%define bogusreqs 'perl(IPC::Open2)\
perl(IPC::Open3)'
%global reqfilt sh -c "%{__perl_requires} | %{__grep} -Fv %{bogusreqs}"
%define __perl_requires %{reqfilt}

...but after rebuilding the resulting SRPM on FC-4 and Rawhide the
perl(IPC::Open*) dependencies were still there in both binary packages.
