Provides are generated by RPM macros post-build, we typically don't list them in the SPEC files explicitly unless the macros can't find them (or some other technical reasons).

Also, as far as I know, cpanspec doesn't add executables to your %files as many Perl distributions include various benchmarks and test scripts that are not actual candidates for that.  If you want to install some of those, it is up to you.  We could probably do some guesswork based on Makefiles and Build scripts but I wouldn't consider the current state of things a bug.

Note cpanspec's output is a good starting point but it still needs some extra work before you can comfortably push it to Fedora.
