Well then maybe that allarch package with perl dependency shouldn't be
marked as allarch.

I'm in favor of removing default allarch and setting correct
PACKAGE_ARCH manually in the packagegroup recipes like we do elsewhere.
packagegroups are small and "rebuilt" quickly, so I don't mind
"building" them once per TUNE_PKGARCH or even once per MACHINE_ARCH like
we do for couple of them already.
I can even find few changes from me on ML which do exactly that.
