I have no idea what this means. I probably want --enable-perlinterp
since I use Perl, but what will it do? And about cscope? What is an
interface, in this context?
Could someone please elaborate a little on this matter?
see my HowTo page for Unix/Linux:

Configuring with --enable-perlinterp will (if it succeeds) build a Vim
executable with +perl compiled-in, as shown in the ":version" listing. This
means that whatever is described in if_perl.txt will work as expected,
provided that: (a) the same version of Perl is installed as the one found at
compile-time by configure, and (b) Vim can find it at runtime.
Best regards,
Tony.
