To build src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/usub, you must have a perl executable.
If you don't have one (because you've never built perl on your machine),
then you have to build one. If the one you've got is from a previous
source level, then you *should* build one just in case. That's what
a bootstrap procedure is all about.
