From Fedora Project Wiki
Is there any way to filter from Provides and Requires everything included in a file? I have to generate this at the end of %install.
The instructions provided for EPEL don't work, at least for EPEL5. Something like this (from Marcela Maslanova) would be better:
# Filter unwanted Requires:
cat << \EOF > %{name}-req
#!/bin/sh
%{__perl_requires} $* |\
sed -e '/perl(the)$/d'
EOF
%define __perl_requires %{_builddir}/perl-ldap-%{version}/%{name}-req
chmod +x %{__perl_requires}
