Including dependencies while creating rpm packages of perl modules

sathya_myl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have been trying to create rpm packages of perl modules with cpan2rpm. Whenever i tried to create a package it dies with dependency errors. Is there a way to include the dependency modules in the rpm package while creating it.

Thanks in advance.
