This is rather ugly, but is popping up in more packages. I really think
RPM needs to handle this case cleaner in the spec file. Maybe something
like:
ExcludeRequires: perl(Win32)
This is especially a problem with perl, since some modules have
conditional requirements (like "if I'm running on Win32, use a Win32
module, otherwise use the POSIX module") for portability. The RPM perl
requires scanner can't handle those.
