You don't say what version of RPM you're using, or what distributions you
want to package for, but the easiest way to accomplish what you're asking
is just using globbing:

%{_libdir}/perl5/5.8.8/*-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod

Some versions of RPM include pre-defined macros for some of perl's
directories.  In those cases, %{perl_sitearch} is what you're looking for.

%{_libdir}/perl5/5.8.8/%{perl_sitearch}/perllocal.pod

If your distribution doesn't define it, you can define it yourself,
assuming your version of RPM is new enough to handle this type of macro:

%define perl_archlib   %(eval "`perl -V:installarchlib`"; echo $installarchlib)

However, packaging the perllocal.pod is (I think) a bad idea.  You're
better off just skipping that file.
