But I thought the whole problem was that people were putting directories named 'perl' in their path. To some extent you're right, it's not a big deal. It just really bugged me that the old code was incoherent. It also bugged me that there wasn't a portable, sort-of-reliable equivalent to 'test -x'. Now there is. (sort of :-) AS_EXECUTABLE_P is still a misnomer, since it doesn't guarantee that the file is executable. But that's something that could be addressed latter, I guess.
