Comment(by drkirkby):

 Yes, it can be closed. The configure script is generated from this bit of
 code I wrote in configure.ac

 {{{
 # The stats program R 2.9.2 needs perl 5.8.0 or later.
 # If anything needs a later version, then this should be updated.
 AC_PATH_PROG([PERL],[perl])
 AX_PROG_PERL_VERSION([5.8.0],[],[AC_MSG_ERROR([Sorry, your version of perl
 is too old]) ])
 }}}

 The 'AC_MSG_ERROR' will cause the build to terminate at that point.
