perl vs perl5
I have been wondering why the perl5 module is compiled using the
cd perl5 && perl Makefile.PL
command (in /var/src/local/pgsql/src/interfaces/Makefile)
Why perl and not perl5? :-)
On BSD/OS 'perl' is perl 4.0 and perl5 is separate binary. TO add to the
confustion, /usr/local/bin/perl is perl5 (symbolic link).
Do other platform have 'perl' binary is that is actually perl 5.0, but do not
have perl5 binary?
Maybe configure should test about perl version and proper binary?

Correct...I have /usr/bin/perl which is perl4, and
/usr/local/bin/perl, which is perl5 ...
