Hi Marc, that's strange, the perl macros should be defined within rpm  
itself.  What is your build environment like (are you running  
'rpmbuild' directly?  From which account?  Which version of Fedora/ 
Redhat are you running?)  Try running 'rpm --showrc | grep perl_' to  
see how the macros are defined.  On an FC6 box, for example, I get:
perl_sitelib       %(eval "`%{__perl} -V:installsitelib`"; echo  
$installsitelib)
And running the perl command listed gives me:
$ perl -V:installsitelib
installsitelib='/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8';

If you install the rpmdevtools package, you should see some spec file  
templates in /etc/rpmdevtools/ which may help.  See the perl and  
python specs specifically.
