Question on RPM

I know this has been asked before, but I cannot recall the answer, so 
forgive me.

I am trying to install a RPM (not a redhat rpm, 3rd party) and it's 
requires section says it needs some perl module files:

        perl(AutoLoader.pm) is needed by perl-Umod-0.50-alt4.b16
        perl(Exporter.pm) is needed by perl-Umod-0.50-alt4.b16
        perl(POSIX.pm) is needed by perl-Umod-0.50-alt4.b16
        perl(strict.pm) is needed by perl-Umod-0.50-alt4.b16
        perl(vars.pm) is needed by perl-Umod-0.50-alt4.b16

but I have each of these files already!

How do I tell RPM that these files are present so it will install and 
not show a failed dependancy? I know I can use --nodeps but I want the 
RPM database to show the package with SATISIFED, not UNSATISFIED 
dependancies.

Thanks!
