It doesn't work.
The epochs on dependencies on "perl" inside of sub-packages are wrong.
E.g.:
# rpm -q --requires -p perl-CPAN-1.76_02-16.i386.rpm
...
perl = 0:5.8.8-16
...
# rpm -q --provides -p perl-5.8.8-16.i386.rpm
...
perl = 4:5.8.8-16
...
This causes all kind of dependency breakages in yum.
AFAIS, you seem to have missed the %{epoch} related Requires having been
contained in my latest *.spec.
