Note to self/community: The fix is to change Pod::Text to Pod::PlainText. The interpolate method comes from Pod::Parser; at some point Pod::Text switched from being a subclass of Pod::Parser to on of Pod::Simple, and Pod::Simple doesn't contain an interpolate method.

Thank you for this report. Version 2.028_02 of cpan2rpm has been patched to be compatible with the newer perl module while still being backwards compatible with the older perl modules.
