to avoid the macro-ised versions of utils, but it sounds like there
may be benefit to this. (See also BZ#237883)
Theoretically using the macro would make it easier for someone to
build a package against a non-standard perl. (Redefining %{__perl},
%{perl_vendorlib}, and %{perl_vendorarch} should be all you'd need for
most modules...)
