Wow, this is almost verbatim of a question that was asked on the list a couple weeks ago. Did you check the archives for the list to see what the responses were? There is no such thing as "NoRequires: perl(Some::Win32:Module)", but what some people apparently do is just add Provides: perl(Some::Win32::Module) right to the spec file for the RPM that is mistakenly requiring it. In other words, "lie, and say that we provide it".
