I object to the second part.  You should leave the "Check for PERL"
command and allow the --with-perl=XXX or AC_PATH_PROG(PERL, perl).
I think it's a bad idea to assume that perl will be in /usr/bin/

Consider this an objection to removing the configurable location of the
perl binary.  I think it's perfectly find to remove the PERLLIB
stuff, but the shebang path should remain be configurable.
