Ouch

Indeed I could. It just seems more elegant to remove the "must have perl" requirement, especially as (from quick inspection) everywhere else in make install does ifneq ($(PERL),no) type things.

And since $(PERL)=no clearly means 'perl isn't available', trying to use it without checking is, well, questionable at best.

Is this something for which you would consider a small patch?
