I have always been in favor of "%perl" and consider package which are using
perl to be sloppily maintainedd, because it
a) is an absolute path, which avoids picking up an arbitrary "perl" in $PATH,
and thus improves deterministic builds
b) the possibility for fedora to ship another perl >> 0 (Perl6, Scls).
