That macro is using a questionable technique to accomplish this (parsing
the output of perl -v and then relying on AX_COMPARE_VERSION). Here's a
much simpler macro that accomplishes the same thing:
AC_DEFUN([AX_PROG_PERL_VERSION],
[AC_CACHE_CHECK([for Perl version $1 or later], [ax_cv_prog_perl_version],
[AS_IF(["$PERL" -e 'require $1;' >/dev/null 2>&1], [$1], [$2])])])
Oh, doh, I'm sorry. This should be:
AC_DEFUN([AX_PROG_PERL_VERSION],
[AC_CACHE_CHECK([for Perl version $1 or later], [ax_cv_prog_perl_version],
[AS_IF(["$PERL" -e 'require $1;' >/dev/null 2>&1], [$2], [$3])])])
Stupid typo indeed.
Thanks for the configure script. That made it obvious.
It's still not working for me, though the error message is different
this time.
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E

Here's the relevant bit of the configure script, with line 4688 marked
by a string of x's
