I guess Jitka would know for sure.

I think it doesn't matter because the ugly %{__perl} will use 
environment setting and perl will use the current perl. What I see in 
specfiles will use in both cases the perl from scl:
%{?scl:scl enable %{scl} '}
perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor OPTIMIZE="%{optflags}"
%{?scl:'}
