Or in perl.spec itself, maybe BR some widely used module.
eg:

BuildRequires: perl-URPM
(...)
%check
perl -MURPM -e 'exit(0)';echo $?


If on first upload, it failed to load perl-URPM, let's jut abort.
We reverse the logic: "let's remember not to screw uploading new perl"
into "we'll only have to bother when uploading a new major perl"
