I'm afraid I'm not expert on these things - I tend to do the naughty
thing of using CPAN to install in system locations! 

But I think the .spec file generated, or the variables used for the
build are not quite correct. You can see here:

that it's installing into ..../root/perl5/  whereas here:

it is trying to package ..../usr/share/ 

I think you need the help of someone who knows about .spec files!
