Hi,
I have just committed in CVS a patch to process all the PERL
related stuff in configure (check of version, definition of
relevant variables). This should eliminate all the warnings
observed by Pete and Alvise.
There are two additional options to configure:
--enable-perlint
to enable the compilation of the perl admin
interface
--with-perl=<path_to_perl_5.8>
to force use of a specific perl executable;
the perl wrapper requires v 5.8 or higher.
By default the interface is not built.
