-Coders,

I'm interested to see embedded perl turned on by default in future releases from
5.4 onwards. I realize there are a number of configure checks to be
added/improved to avoid breaking the build for too many people (which I think is
the major argument for *not* turning it on):

  - turn "#error embedded perl broken" into a proper configure test
  - make sure our and Perl's compiler (cc vs. gcc) and CFLAGS match
  - check for minimum perl version (which one?)
  - address bug 1486366: embedded perl doesn't work with ucd_snmp,host because
of largefile options on Solaris (ideally fix, otherwise just detect and turn
embedded perl off)
  - what else?

Assumed we succeed in improving configure this way: are there any objections
against turning on embedded perl by default in 5.4?
