Curious. I tried it on a Net-SSH-Perl package on FC4 and used:

%define bogusreqs 'perl(Crypt::RSA)\
perl(Crypt::RSA::Key)\
perl(Crypt::RSA::Key::Private)\
perl(Crypt::RSA::Key::Public)\
perl(Crypt::RSA::Primitives)\
perl(Crypt::RSA::SS::PKCS1v15)'
%global reqfilt sh -c "%{__perl_requires} | %{__grep} -Fv %{bogusreqs}"
%define __perl_requires %{reqfilt}

and it did indeed remove all of the Crypt::RSA* deps (not that I 
actually wanted to do this, it was just for test purposes).

The bogusreqs macro is a list of fixed strings, one per line, and should 
only need escaping if it needed to include a single quote character I think.

Paul.
