Details

For running unit tests on packaged builds, if we're going to end up running a single package on a machine with a different configuration, we want to modify the fix in bug 385248 so that instead of using the PERL from configure.in, it accepts (as a backup) a perl from an environment variable. (Or maybe we should even use the path as backup?) Currently the code added in bug 385248 hard-codes the path to PERL as found by configure, which might not be the right one when the package is moved to a different machine.
The Perl code got rewritten in Python. Hooray!
