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}

Please note RPM 4.9 allows new filtering style that takes precedence over the %filter_* style. E.g. Perl packages already use it.

There are some formatting problems in:
$ rpm -qp foo-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
libprivate.so()(64bit) foo = 1.0-1.fc19 foo(x86-64) = 1.0-1.fc19
The rpm call should be
rpm -qp --provides foo-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

In the recommended command, %{libdir} is not correct, it should be %{_libdir} instead:
%global __provides_exclude_from ^(.%{libdir}/%{name}/*\\.so|%{_datadir}/myapp/.*)$
