The majority of the patches are correcting hard-coded references to perl
- replacing it with @PERL@ so that autoconf then replaces it with the
true location of the perl executable.
Perhaps something like:
${REINPLACE_CMD} -e 's,#!/usr/bin/perl,#!${PERL},' \
${WRKSRC}/file1 \
${WRKSRC}/file2 \
${WRKSRC}/file3
would be better?
