+Maybe we should have a macro for "perl Makefile.PL" with your variables

+perl-HTML-Parser even has the following...
+
+# compile with default options (prompt() checks for STDIN being a terminal).
+# yes to not ask for automate rebuild
+yes | %{__perl} Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor
+%make OPTIMIZE="%{optflags}"
