Thanks for pointing me to the .spec file.

I recreated my .spec file from old perl version which you mentioned.

The trick is to use filter-requires.sh script in .spec file to exclude the
modules in question.

---
 #!/bin/sh

# The original script name has been passed as the first argument:
"$@" |
  awk '
    $0 != "perl(FCGI)" &&
    $0 != "perl(Your::Module::Here)" &&
    $0 != "perl(unicore::Name)" &&
    $0 != "perl(Tk)" &&
    $0 !~ /^perl\(Tk::/ &&
    $0 !~ /^perl\(Mac::/
      '

# We used to filter also these:
#    NDBM perl(v5.6.0) perl(Tie::RangeHash)
# but they don't seem to be present anymore.
