If you were around to perl packaging in Fedora a little longer, you'd know that
not using OPTIMIZE and dropping the find had been part of older Fedora perl
templates.

For reasons unknown to me, this somehow has fallen out of the current templates.

Perl makefiles are generated on the fly, therefore you never can be sure what
they are doing.

Are you sure the package's author hasn't added a custom VAR named OPTIMIZE? Are
you sure the perl-magic a package uses, suffers from a bug and abused OPTIMIZE? 
=> They are likely not to do any harm, but certainly not "certainly".
