I have been having problems building autoscan. The autoconf ./configure
script does not seem to be detecting my perl installation (the log is pasted
below). Is this just a configuration problem or something more serious?
Apologies if the former but I have tried the archives and rtfm'd :)

bash-2.04$ pwd
//e/autoconf-2.13
bash-2.04$ ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for gm4... (cached) /usr/bin/m4
checking for mawk... (cached) gawk
checking for perl... (cached) no
configure: warning: autoscan will not be built since perl is not found
checking for a BSD compatible install... (cached) /usr/bin/install -c
creating ./config.status

bash-2.04$ perl --version
This is perl, v5.6.0 built for cygwin
