%{__perl} will be moved to perl-srpm-macros. Some packages use it in
list of
BuildRequires and so it has to be defined in buildroot when source rpm
is built.
%perl_sitearch and %perl_sitelib will be removed, because they are not used
in any spec file.
%perl_vendorlib, %perl_vendorarch, %perl_archlib and %perl_privlib will be
placed in perl-macros. To prevent the build failures, perl-macros will be
added as build-require to packages, which use the macros and doesn't
build-require perl-generators (it run-requires perl-macros).

%requires_eq isn't perl macro and it stays in redhat-rpm-config. The macro
is used only in samba.spec.
