Unfortunately that doesn't work in this situation.  configure.ac needs
to be modified to respect
configure.perl before a version specific perl can be used.

configure.ac uses this code to test for perl:

        AC_PATH_PROG(perlpath, perl)
        AC_MSG_CHECKING(for Perl compile flags)
        PERL_CFLAGS=`$perlpath -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts 2>/dev/null`

Consider this configuration that might result from the recent change in
perl5's default variant (this is the configuration I use to test for
intltool configuration problems).

  perl5 @5.12.4_0+perl5_12 (active)
  perl5.12 @5.12.4_3 (active)
  perl5.16 @5.16.3_0 (active)

perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts 2>/dev/null 

gives

 -pipe -Os  -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -I/opt/local/include
-no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-aliasing -fstack-protector
-I/opt/local/include 
-I/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.12.4/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE

Worse, if perl5 is not active at all

  perl5 @5.12.4_0+perl5_12
  perl5.12 @5.12.4_3 (active)
  perl5.16 @5.16.3_0 (active)

it will select the system perl

perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts 2>/dev/null 

now gives

  -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN
-fno-strict-aliasing -fstack-protector -I/usr/local/include 
-I/System/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE
