When was %__perl_requires added to RPM?

If the spec file language is now frozen for all time, why bother
breaking old spec files (things like Copyright: vs. License:)?

Instead of a standardized solution with RPM, we have over 2 dozen
packages in FC that have their own ad-hoc (and in a bunch of cases
apparently incorrect) solution.
