Looks like the FPC and FESCo just approved 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering,
so we can start thinking about delivering a Perl-specific one under
/etc/rpm/macros.perl:

  http://fedorapeople.org/~cweyl/macros.perl

It's just a sensible default for perl-* packages, preventing private solib
provides from showing up, as well as anything that may crop up under %_docdir. 
Implemented as a single macro like this will enable us to use it as:

  %{?perl_default_filter}

...which will help prevent srpm breakage on other releases/distros that may not
have these macros present.  Note that the %perl_default_filter is defined such
that if the filtering macros aren't present on the system, the build will not
fail.

Thoughts? :)
