Well, if you are trying to build an accurate spec file, then you need to 
include all of the dependencies in the spec. If you are just trying to get 
it to install, then you are probably better off using the supplied tools 
and compiling from source. (I'm not trying to start an argument on the 
merits of only installing RPM packages vs. compiling from source, but just 
explaining some of my recent experiences with trying to force feed RPM 
packages into a system.)

That mod_perl should be new enough and it is probably safe to use that 
version in as the dependency in the spec file.

Just to reiterate, mod_perl-1.99 the development version of mod_perl2 and 
you should use --with-modperl2 when appropriate.

It shouldn't be handled as a requires in the spec file. It is just a file 
in the package. Are you using an automated tool to generate the spec file?
