well, the actual untar and build happens in
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/perl-xxxx, but the thing in /var/tmp is a temporary
installation so that it doesn't overwrite your system files when doing
'make install'.  Theoretcially, the rpm should clean up after itself - I
probably forgot to uncomment that after debugging the build script.
Getting perl to install in a 'build root' was really hard, so.. anyway,
you can delete the stuff in /var/tmp.
