Seems you have right:
$  rpm -q --whatprovides "perl(CGI)"
perl-5.6.0-14

And IMHO perl(CGI) isn't core part of perl :>
Solution: fix spec for perl package and remove all CGI stuffs.

Yes if it is possible perl can be splited but also if CGI module is
avalaible as separated tar ball it will be good remove CGI from core perl
pack this in perl-CGI package.
