Hmmm, I'm thinking that it might make sense to have a couple of things
to make perl ports work better.

PERL ?= ${PREFIX}/bin/perl

and

HAS_PERL_CONFIG

which can be used to generate

do-configure:
		@ cd ${WRKSRC}; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${PREFIX}/bin/perl Makefile.PL

and also be used to make sure that perl5 exists on the system before
trying to build (and also enables NO_P5_JUNK-like functionality
easily).

Comments?
