This is necessary in order to comply to the Perl packaging guidelines:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Perl#Directory_Ownership

"As an example, assume that perl-A-B depends on perl-A and installs files into
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/A/B. The base Perl
package guarantees that it will own
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi for as long as it
remains compatible with version 5.10.0, but a future upgrade of the perl-A
package may install into (and thus own)
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.11.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/A. So the perl-A-B
package needs to own
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/A as well as
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/A/B in order to
maintain proper ownership."
