I very much dislike this .
1. It introduce perl as dependency.  Could we assume that it is
available on all Darwin machines? What would be next? using java
checks for solaris?

2. The new perl check would service only one reason: to skip the
program that checks for MacOSX API.
I see no sense.

3. I doubt this check could be done only in perl.

P.S.
Sorry for not noticing the toppic in dev-end.
