Marcela,
cpanspec does the right thing. It creates the list of requires from the
list in META.yml.
rpm does the wrong thing by parsing the source code and looking for
"use" statements.
My advice is to trust cpanspec and not to use the rpm dependency
auto-generation. I do this by adding:
%__perl_requires %{nil}
to my .rpmmacros file.
For more details, see my blog:

Cheers,
Dave...
