if truly: noarch  yes 

-- some archives were formerly set up:
        head
        ./i686/
        ./x86_64/
        ./noarch/
        ./repodata/ (covering all three 'arches')

which points up that 'noarch' is its own (special) 
architecture .. usually the contents are written in a 
scripting language (in your case, all perl or perl modules) 
and not linked against any libraries that 'ldd' might find

You could just mirror the 'well stocked' ./noarch/ , and run 
a: 
        createrepo .

and add a custom .repo stanza, and yum will solve and inferior 
noarch dependencies out of it for you
