This version seems to work a little better:

# don't "provide" private Perl libs
%global _use_internal_dependency_generator 0
%global __deploop() while read FILE; do /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdeps -%{1} ${FILE}; done | /bin/sort -u
%global __find_provides /bin/sh -c "%{__grep} -v '%{perl_vendorarch}/.*\\.so$' | %{__deploop P}"
%global __find_requires /bin/sh -c "%{__deploop R}"
