Ouch
Indeed I could. It just seems more elegant to remove the "must have
perl" requirement, especially as (from quick inspection) everywhere else
in make install does ifneq ($(PERL),no) type things.
And since $(PERL)=no clearly means 'perl isn't available', trying to use
it without checking is, well, questionable at best.
Is this something for which you would consider a small patch?
