error: File must begin with "/": %{perl_sitelib}/*

AlmaLinux EL9 does not define the macro perl_sitelib. Based on a bit of Google searching perl_sitelib is disused.

I was able to get around this issue by adding this command line argument.

--install-type vendor 

I think the default on fedora-based system should be vendor and not site.

I am have this issue only if I am using the environment variable PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=<install base>" to control the install base. When using the cpantorpm --install-base option everything is ok. Just figured out that the PERL_MM_OPT way to set the install base isn't supported (GH 20).
