subject says it all really... When NOPERL is defined, ficl can't be
built since "perl" isn't in the path. Is there any reason why a simple
patch like the following couldn't be applied?

This won't make any difference if NOPERL isn't defined. If someone is
building the world with NOPERL, and they don't have /usr/bin/perl, they
won't be any worse off either.
(I know this was mentioned before, around 5th November, but I didn't see
any reasons why this couldn't be fixed.)
