perl 4.0.36 generates half a dozen minor-looking syntax errors. Looks
like perl 5 is more forgiving about where you put parentheses. Also
perl4 doesn't have "my()", only "local()". Should be easy to fix;
I'll try this weekend.
Given that, I agree that configure should be fixed to look for a perl,
and then the psql Makefile should enable the build rule only if one
was found. You want to handle that part?
