I don't think it's that bad. In my local Module::Build (0.4000) package
I have:
%global perl_module_version 0.40
# Account for differences between rpm and perl versioning
%if "%{version}" != "%{perl_module_version}"
Provides: perl(Module::Build) = %{version}
%endif
So I end up with provides of both 0.40 and 0.4000, which rpmlint moans
about but is otherwise harmless I think.

As do I, though I would suggest bumping the version requirement to the
next highest 2-digit version rather than dropping the version
requirement completely.
