Yeah.  The dependencies are for the other RPMs and are in the spec file
specifically.

I haven't looked around a lot (and Justin may have more options than I
do,) but the process for putting up a file in CPAN is to tell PAUSE where
the file is located (or you upload it directly).  Their code then goes
through the tarball and extracts a bunch of information, what modules
are included, etc, and if it finds things are valid, into CPAN it goes.
Due to that, I infer that the CPAN scripts generate the information you're
having issues with.  I could be wrong, but I don't remember there being
any options to manually edit this info.
