Hi,

the macros for perl should be a different at CentOS 7.

Something like this

%scl_package_override() %{expand: \
%global __perl %_scl_root/usr/bin/perl \
%global __perl_requires /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req.stack \
%global __perl_provides /usr/lib/rpm/perl.prov.stack \
%global __perllib_requires /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req.stack \
%global __perllib_provides /usr/lib/rpm/perl.prov.stack \
}

It overrides definition specified at /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/perl*attr
(for more info http://www.rpm.org/wiki/PackagerDocs/DependencyGenerator)
