I modify the relevant .rpmmacros file to stop Perl putting in 
requirements like this, they cause more trouble than they're worth.

That's quite a lot of work, I've got to build RPMs for a pretty big set 
of modules.
It's going to take quite a few hours work to build that lot, and then 
I've got to maintain srpm-based and tar-based distributions of the 
clam+sa package. Another distribution to maintain :-(
