 >Environment:
 An HP-UX box that has perl installed in /tools/perl/bin/ or other random 
location
 >Description:
 A couple of tests are skipped because perl is not found:
 
  39: torture.at:558    interpreter "/usr/bin/perl" not found
 ok (skipped near `torture.at:562')
  40: torture.at:650    interpreter "/usr/bin/perl" not found
 ok (skipped near `torture.at:654')
 >How-To-Repeat:
 Install perl somewhere other than /usr/bin/perl.  Download autoconf-2.57, 
./configure and 'make check'.
 >Fix:
 I couldn't work out where in the code the pathname to perl was stored.  But 
suggest using $PATH rather than hardcoded directory.
