Sorry, I was really too tired when I wrote that and didn't pay attention
to what I'm doing. Here's an actually tested version.
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 $1;' >/dev/null 2>&1],
[ax_cv_prog_perl_version=yes],
[ax_cv_prog_perl_version=no])])
AS_IF([test x"$ax_cv_prog_perl_version" = xyes], [$2], [$3])])
It STILL does not work for me, though at least it is not a syntax error.
checking for perl... /usr/local/bin/perl
checking for Perl version 5.6.0 or later... no

This is perl, v5.8.4 built for sun4-solaris-64int
(with 31 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
This is what I have in configure.ac
minimum_perl_version="5.6.0"

AX_PROG_PERL_VERSION([$minimum_perl_version],[],[AC_MSG_ERROR([Sorry,
