Weirdness in F-13/rawhide builds...

Hey all --

So, I was looking into a FTBFS report on perl-SQL-Translator[1], when
I noticed that %perl_vendorlib was evaluating to /usr/share/perl5.
Checking out devel/perl.spec I see it defined this way as well;
unversioned, and undifferentiated from core.

Not to put too fine a point on it, is this intentional? :) It appears
to be playing havoc with install_share / Module::Install::Share (hence
the FTBFS), causing share files to be installed under /blib.

                                 -Chris
