It's normal practice to look at the generated RPM and fix problems manually;
cpanspec is intended to provide a sane starting point rather than a tool that
can generate correct packages for all perl modules. It does such a good job
that many modules don't need any manual tweaking but sometimes, as in this
case, such tweaks need to be made.

Now some of these tweaks could potentially be automated but there are
potentially lots of such cases. Another type of tweak commonly needed is a
manual dependency that needs adding, and it would be much more difficult to
automatically determine the need for these.

Is there some particular reason why you're trying to generate a perl-HTML-Tree
package rather than use the one in Fedora anyway?
