It should use the rpm just build, not the one on the system.
Perl-rpm is not self hosting. Build without, install, build again.
Created attachment 51527 [details] A patch
I submitted a patch. It may not be suitable in the Perl-RPM package. But it can be used inside the rpm source and applied from the spec file.
perl-RPM has been removed from rpm sub-packages.
