Yes, sorry. I was thinking of a lot of silly corner cases when I wrote
that (I hit the same issue when playing with ./configure and stuff so
that's what I had in mind in the first place).
By the way, Erik, Jonas I'm attaching a patch to the configure.in to add
--with-perl option (defaults to autodetection if not given).
I'm sorry I'm not into cdbs enough to provide a patch for debian/rules
also :)
