Those are _automatic_ Provides adding during rpmbuild. Whether or not those
automatic Provides are added depends on the build environment contents. And
sometimes it can happen that the automatic dependencies are lost due to
bugs or missing BuildRequires. In this case it could be due to missing
"BuildRequires: perl-generators" before building those Fedora Perl packages.

Install the "perl-generators" package, then try rebuilding the Fedora
src.rpm packages. If that fixes them, somebody may need to file bug reports
about those packages or sign up as co-maintainer and contribute updates
to fix the packages.
