My opinion is the following:
* If these are perl modules, then they should go below /usr/lib/perl5,
below
%{perl_vendorlib}/
rpm --eval %{perl_vendorlib}
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8
* if it is code internal to the application which happens to be in .pm
files it should go below %_datadir (for example in
%_datadir/myapp/Module.pm). It the .pm are in fact configuration
(for example in those files user definied constants or user defined hooks
are set) they should go in %_sysconfdir/myapp/ConfModule.pm.
I hope that someday %{perl_vendorlib}/ will be moved to something like
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8
