 Hi all,

 I am trying to configure and compile 2.5.4, and have not been able to add
 in the Perl scripting support. I am using Fedora 10, and have the package
 perl_devel installed but the configure script still outputs "Perl
 development headers not found." and "checking for Perl compile flags...
 not found, building without perl." I have also tried to supply the
 directory where the header files are installed by using the with-perl-lib
 option and CPPFLAGS, PERL_CFLAGS and even PERL_LIBS (I found the last two
 variables from the config.log file) but none of them works. I have checked
 the config.log file after some failed tried, and found that none of the
 perl related variables are set, except the perlpath, which was usually set
 to /usr/bin/perl.
