These are automatically generated dependencies on Perl modules, found by rpmbuild when scanning files for Perl "use"/"require". These two modules are not made available in standard search path, however, and don't declare the module name with "package" either. You may need to filter them out, especially if the modules really are not put into Perl module search path. Documentation can be found in the Wiki. P.S.
