Dunno the answer to that one.

Bryan Whitehead answered this a couple days ago:

This is a bug in rpm (rpm-build to be exact). find.requires is the   
problem, located in /usr/lib/rpm. look at line 165.

When you build you "own" perl based rpm it read the site config version 
as 5.8.00 but then writes the requires as 5.800 which breaks perl
builds...

Pain in the ass I've been dealing with for my perl modules I build at
JPL.
