Not exactly on topic, but FWIW I recommend #!/usr/bin/env perl.
That does not assume any particular Perl location.
Personally I find that preferable to Perl checking in configure scripts,
since then the resulting has a better chance of working on more systems.

(Of course this is not a panacea, if nonstandard Perl packages or
some such are needed this would not be helpful, but for "simple" scripts ...)
