The "make cross" omitted perl from the cross check, likely because of:
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for perl module Bit::Vector... no
checking for perl module Class::Accessor... no
Sadly, the travis build succeeded even though it should have failed because
perl wasn't tested. I updated the perl deps and the perl doc (README.md) and
we'll see if it gets things right this time around. If not, I'll look into why
those are failing.
