[PATCH 1/3] configure: Add test for Perl

From
DSDennis Stosberg <dennis@stosberg.net>
Date
Jul 6, 2006, 12:40 UTC
Message-ID
<20060706124025.G325584e9@leonov.stosberg.net>

This patch adds two tests to the configuration script. The first one tries to find a perl binary in the path. The second one checks whether the found perl is of a sufficient version.

It also adds a --perl=/path parameter to override the autodetection of the perl binary.
