Here is a snippet for perl
cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
sed -i -e "s|BUILD_ZLIB\s*= True|BUILD_ZLIB = False|" \
-e "s|INCLUDE\s*= ./zlib-src|INCLUDE = /usr/include|" \
-e "s|LIB\s*= ./zlib-src|LIB = /usr/lib|" \
cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in
sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/usr \
-Dvendorprefix=/usr \
-Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 \
-Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3 \
-Dpager="/usr/bin/less -isR" \
-Duseshrplib
make -j6
cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
make DESTDIR=$pkgdir/ install -j1
rm -rf ${pkgdir}/usr/share/info || true
